What is a Nef file?
NEF stands for Nikon Electronic Format and it’s
a data flow taken from the photosensitive matrix of the camera and it’s written
without any processing.
NEF is often called digital negative and it contains more information then JPEG
or TIFF formats. Because of maximum quality of stored images and lowest losses,
professional photographers and many owners of Nikon, prefer to save their images
in NEF extension.
NEF files contain data exactly as it was captured by the CCD. Almost every Nikon
camera stores their NEF images in different sub formats. Because of that, there
can’t be found many tools that support NEF file extensions.
