picasa help, when viewing raw files

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I own D70 and when I shoot in raw and jpeg, and open up with picasa, the raw
look totally different from the jpeg and generally looks wrong. I guess
picasa gets the wb and exposure all wrong - so I'll have to live with this.

I'd like to be able to open the raw displayed in picasa with nikon view, but
when I right click and select "open with", theres only a vew choices and
nikon view isnt there! How do I get more choices - or do I have to go to
windows explorer and view raw files there ( and I only get a tiny thumbnail
of raw file there).

What thumbnail viewer do people out there think is best for perusing raw
shots (nef), that shows them looking like the accompanying jpegs, that will
open the thumbnail with nikon view and ps elements3 too if you'd like?
Appreciate any help.

Not really. Bridge displays them exactly as they will look
when opened in ACR. If you change anything in ACR the
preview in Bridge will be updated to reflect it. ACR has
"auto" settings for those who may choose to use them, Bridge
makes no adjustments itself. None.

Did you load picassa after nikon view?

If so, ry reloading nikon view, you may then get the options.
