cPicture is available in a 64bit and 32bit version. For best performance run the 64bit version on a 64bit Windows because running a 32bit program on a 64bit Computer requires an emulated environment which can be slower.
Click on the Control Panel in Windows to find out if a 32bit or a 64 bit system is installed. If you don't know which version to use, download the 32bit Version which runs on both Windows architectures.

Click the help in cPicture to check which version is currently installed.

Previous versions of cPicture are 32bit and have no "32bit" or "64bit" declaration. Please note to use the matching TIF/PNG plugin.

cPicture is a portable App, so no installation is required.

Download the .ZIP file, (click here for the 64bit version) open the ZIP file and copy the cPicture.exe anywhere on your computer to run the app or use the 'Check for updates' button in the 'Other' category.
See the Download Instructions for more details.

As part of a workflow, processed pictures often gets transferred to the final web site or publisher via the File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
FTP is an efficient and fast way to transfer large files over the Internet. Every webhoster provides FTP services and with this upload script you can easily transfer your images with cPicture.

Download the ftp-upload.ps1 script, set the password and login name of your FTP server in the script and remove the trailing .txt from the downloaded script file.

Add the script file to the folder where you copied cPicture.exe.
Make sure you have the function plugin for powershell scripts installed.

Run cPicture, select your pictures and start the upload script from the menu:

To open your Raw file you can simply assign an editor in cPicture to open the file. But if you like to open a RAW file with another editor not supporting your used RAW Format, you can use the universal DNG format to link to your editor.

In this example, we will use external tools and a plugin script to create a simple workflow to open a non-Nikon RAW file with the Nikon RAW software Capture NX.
First the RAW gets converted to a DNG and then to a 16bit TIFF, which can be opened by Capture NX.

You need the ImageMagick Tools and the Adobe DNG converter:

• Download the ImageMagick Tools ImageMagick and install
  Choose the Q16 Version of ImageMagick to ensure no loss in Quality: ImageMagick-6.8.8-6-Q16-x64-dll.exe

• Download the Adobe DNG converter Adobe DNG converter and install

Download the convert-Raw-to-TIFF.ps1 script, adjust the file path of the tools in the script

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter.exe
• C:\Program Files (x86)\ImageMagick-6.8.8-Q16\convert
• C:\Program Files ikon\Capture NX 2\Capture NX 2.exe

and remove the trailing .txt from the downloaded script file.

Add the script file to the folder where you copied cPicture.exe.
Make sure you have the function plugin for powershell scripts installed.

Run cPicture, select your RAW picture and start the conversion script from the menu:

The script will first convert the RAW to a DNG and then using the ImageMagick Tools to convert the DNG to a 16bit TIFF that gets opened by the Nikon software.
