Seeking recommendations for a light DNG viewer, Windows O/S.  Something I can simply use to view and cull images before processing.

Thanks for the tips, although none were exactly what I was looking for.

The story:  Recently acquired a new Canon whose RAW file format wasn't supported by My current O/S and software.  Once loaded I couldn't see the RAW file images (eek!) and the Canon Pro software necessary was way too complex and taxing.

I wanted simple, this worked http://www.fastpictureviewer.com  For $10 I can now view the new Canon RAW file format in Windows (using windows 7) select the keepers, convert to DNG (necessary for Photoshop) and process.

It's all good,  but...

Canon really needs to supply this new codec as a stand alone download.

FastRawViewer (to which I gave you a link) is $20 and really excellent for reviewing raw data (not just some converted JPG previews which all the other software gives you).

That is not necessary.

Amazon prime photo storage?

Bulk upload. Scan through and ditch the ones you dont like.
And hey, bonus.. you also get them backed up as a side effect of the process :-)
