Nikon’s D300 just started shipping, and a software update means Windows Vista can handle its raw images.

Nikon and Canon - newest SLRs will be updated with Windows Vista Support for “raw” images and also a number of older cameras too from Canon . Raw images contain more data than JPEG and give photographers more control over processing, but different cameras and manufacturers use different proprietary formats, making support a challenge. Microsoft relies on camera makers to supply customers with “codec” software that lets Windows Vista read the proprietary raw image formats. Apple writes its own codecs, and Windows XP doesn’t have any built-in support for viewing raw images.

The software also supports a number of older compact and SLR cameras from years past that supported raw files, said Chuck Westfall, a Canon spokesman and tech guru, and works with the Windows Live Photo Gallery software on Windows XP.

The new versions of these products bring support for the new cameras, and in the case of Digital Photo Professional, adds the ability to correct some lens aberrations.
