So even a beefy program like Photo Mechanic will have trouble reading CR3 files, and this is something they specialize in. We recommend setting your camera to record an HEIF sidecar file along with the RAW if you would like to be able to use Photo Mechanic to browse these images. Photo Mechanic cannot preview these CR3 files at this time. Some Canon models will embed an HEIF in CR3 files when shooting in their HDR modes. The reason is the way the CR3 files are and how they are written. Back in the day, you used to be able to download a piece of software called a "Codec" that gave you the ability to view files in the Windows Explorer as a Thumbnail and such. Honestly? You are either going to have to find a free program put out by Canon to view the CR3 files or purchase one like File Viewer Plusor the program I use, Photo Mechanic 6. But with anything like this that comes from Microsoft, it takes time, usually years, to finally get it right and by that time, we will be onto CR4 files! Keep in mind, that even though you shoot Raw, the Images that you see in Explorer are actually the JPEG Preview that is part of the Raw file, and not the Raw Image itself.įrom what I've found, is that there seems to be a Raw Images Extension Program that gives you the ability to view CR3 files. That's because the software that is built into Windows isn't updated to support the CR3 files.
