NEF Codec 1.31

The software is able to search and view metadata and it allows you to preview .NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) images in the Windows Explorer and in the Windows Live Photo Gallery.

Due to this piece of software, you can view thumbnails of NEF files as if they were common format images.

The installing procedure is simple and fast and when you want to remove the application from your computer you can easily do this by accessing “Control Panel” and selecting “Uninstall a program”.

NEF Codec functions like a plugin for Internet Explorer and for Windows Live Photo Gallery; in order to confirm after installation and view the images properly, right-click a NEF image, select “Open with” and choose “Windows Photo Viewer” or “Windows Live Photo Gallery”.
