NEF to DNG Conversion: FAQ
What are NEF files?
NEF represents the extension typically associated with RAW images taken with Nikon cameras. Most professional photographers shoot in RAW mode because this allows them to make a series of adjustments during post-processing, including noise removal, white balance or the correction of under/overexposure without reducing the image quality. As opposed to JPEG or other compressed formats, which include predefined values for aspects such as white balance or brightness and color depth, RAW images allow the photographer more freedom in shaping how the final image will actually look.
What are DNG files?
DNG (Digital Negative) is an archival RAW format associated with Adobe Photoshop. The main aim of creating this format was to establish a standardized archival format that is publicly available and widely accessible, and help professional photographers avoid the hassle of constantly converting between the different RAW formats associated with different camera brands. The DNG extension is supported by several types of software manufacturers, including Apple and Google, as well as by a wide array of camera brands, such as Casio, Samsung, Pentax, Ricoh etc.
