RAW Format support via Windows WIC

In order to support certain camera RAW formats (e.g. Nikon, Canon, Olympus) IMatch relies on the installed RAW codec (WIC codec) from the camera vendor.

Please visit the web site of your camera vendor for the most recent version of their codec and install them as explained on the camera vendor’s web site.

In IMatch, go to Options menu > Preferences > File Format Preferences and check that support for WIC is enabled (default) and that the file extension used by the file format of your camera is in the list.

Please see this Know-how article for more information about Windows WIC codecs.
