ZoomBrowser

Canon's Zoom Browser is like a graphical Explorer for your image files. You can just double-click to view a JPEG or convert and view a raw CRW file or use the menu on the left side for these options:

The Camera Settings dialogue box

The editor window lets you crop or adjust color, brightness and contrast.

RAW Conversion

The File Viewer Utility lets you convert raw .CRW files to TIFF or JPEG format. Before conversion you can select a different white balance or color effect and apply it to the raw data.

An excellent third-party program that reads Canon S50 RAW image data is Chris Breeze's BreezeBrowser for Windows. It handles RAW data from any Canon camera including the new EOS 10D and D60 SLRs too.

Canon raw .CRW files can be saved as Exif-JPEG, Exif-TIFF or 16-bit TIFF.
