Image preview with UIWebView

Dear all, I plan to use the UIWebView to display the preview of some image files. It works well when opening the common files. But it seems some special formats (such as "CRW", Canon Camera Raw file) are not supported. It can be viewed via the QLPreviewController. Is there any better way to do the
