| Technical Details | NEF files are used in Nikon digital cameras for capturing video without post-processing them or adding special effects. NEF files are stored as RAW image files and can be transferred to the computer for image editing and post-production purposes. NEF files can be converted to various other file formats such as TIFF, JPEG, PNG and can be used with image editing applications like Photoshop. NEF files are uncompressed, contain meta information of image data and are used for saving images taken with a Nikon digital camera. Any changes in the hue, tone and color made to the NEF files can be reversed, what this means is that users can fall back on any changes to the image they previously made through an image editing software and restore the image to its original quality. |
