Raw images are basically the data as it comes directly from the CCD detector in the camera. Raw files can also contain text information about the picture and conditions in the camera when the picture was taken. Digital Camera Raw or the DCR file extension can be a Kodak Raw Image file. These are uncompressed and unprocessed image files saved from a Kodak digital camera. Some files with the DCR extension might instead be Shockwave Media files that are used to store web games.

Hint
It should be noted that some coded data from files that your computer does not read can be sometimes previewed in a Notepad. This way, we will read passages of a text or numbers. It is worth checking if this method can also be applied to the DCR files.
What should be done when an application from the list has already been installed?
Often, an installed application should automatically link to a DCR file. If it did not happen, the DCR file can be linked with the newly installed application manually. Simply right-click on the DCR file, then from the available list select 'Choose default program'. Next, select 'Browse' and find the application you selected. These changes have to be confirmed by pressing the 'OK' button.

Dcr File Player
However, problems with the DCR files can also have a different background. Sometimes even the software, installed on your computer, that supports the DCR files does not solve the problem. The reason for the fact that the DCR file can’t be opened and used can also be:
- an incorrect link to the DCR file in the registry entries
- corruption of a DCR file, that you want to open
- infection of a DCR file (viruses)
- insufficient computer hardware resources
- drivers out of date
- accidental deletion of the DCR file from the Windows registry
- incomplete installation of the program that supports a DCR file?
Solving these problems should allow the free opening and working with the DCR files. If the computer still has problems with the files, use the services of an expert who will diagnose a specific cause.
My computer does not show file extensions, what should I do?
Dcr File Extension
In the standard Windows settings, a computer user cannot see the DCR file extension. However, you can successfully change this in the settings. Just go to 'Control Panel' and select 'Appearance and Personalization'. Then, go to the 'Folder Options' and open the 'View' tab. On the 'View' tab, you will find 'Hide extensions for known file types' – you should mark this option and confirm by pressing 'OK'. At this point, the extension of all files, including the DCR files should be displayed after the file name.
