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.

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.
