A few months ago I posted about a little piece of software that let you view Digital RAW thumbnails in the Windows XP Explorer Shell. Well, I found something even better. DPMagic has some really well integrated software that lets you:

• View Thumbnails in the Shell
• View a full size image preview in the Shell Picture Viewer
• View a slideshow of the images
• View Properties of the image, including the Histogram

You can see screenshots of all the features here.

There is a free version of the product, as well as a pay version that has all the features mentioned above.
