Nikon View Browser: Opening Images in Another Application
Opening Images in Another Application
When a thumbnail is double-clicked or a thumbnail is selected
and Open chosen from the browser File menu, the image will
be opened in the application specified for the purpose in the
Nikon View Control window. Images can also be opened
directly from any application that supports the file formats used
by the camera. Check that the application being used supports
the same format as the image. NEF files containing raw image
data from the camera’s CCD can be viewed using Nikon Cap-
ture (sold separately).
Opening selected images from the browser
Follow these steps to open images with the specified applica-
tion.
1 To change settings so that images are opened using the
designated application, choose Preferences… from the
browser Edit menu.
The Preferences dialog will appear.
Click the Viewer tab to open Viewer panel. Select Open
images with their normal application and click OK.
Tip
When images are read directly from the camera, the creator program is set
to the application specified in the Nikon View Control window. If the speci-
fied application is installed on your system, double-clicking images in the
camera will open them in the application. When read directly from flash-
memory cards mounted without Nikon View, however, images are treated as
DOS files with no creator. In order to open such images with a double
click, you will need to use Macintosh PC Exchange or a similar control
panel to associate the DOS file suffixes (extensions) “.JPG” and “.TIF” with
suitable application. The same restriction applies to images copied directly
from flash-memory cards.
