do i have to process them first or do i have to have something else to install first ?

thanks in advance :)

The powertoy raw image viewer is for RAW images (canon Raw images have a .cr2 suffix), if the problem is with Tiffs then it's probably a viewer /file association issue. Open explorer then open Tools, File Types and see if Tif is associated with your favoured viewer or editor.

thanks phil ive checked that and its associated with the raw image viewer

and still no luck i think ill chase an other raw image and try that

or are u saysing the raw viewer needs an independant viewer ?

thanks john

No John, the raw viewer isn't what you need to view a TIF file, most graphics viewers will open TIF files, the RAW plugin is simply for viewing RAW files; TIF files aren't RAW files.
