This allows for greater compatibility with other software and devices, while still maintaining the benefits of the NEF format. NEF files can be converted into other image formats such as JPEG or TIFF using software applications such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. This makes the NEF format a popular choice for professional photographers who want to maintain the highest level of image quality and flexibility. Since NEF files are not compressed or processed, they allow for greater control over image processing during post-production. The NEF format provides photographers with the ability to capture high-quality images with greater detail and flexibility. It is based on the TIFF image format and contains uncompressed, unprocessed data from the camera's sensor. The Nikon Electronic Format (NEF) is a proprietary raw image format used by Nikon digital cameras.
