How to Convert an NEF File
Nikon Electronic Format (NEF) files are the exclusive file format for Nikon cameras. They are RAW images saved to a Nikon camera's memory card. They're high-quality, uncompressed images, so they aren't ideal when you want to share your pictures. You'd be better off converting to a JPEG or TIFF. To convert NEF files to a different format, you need photo software that can open the NEF and has the ability to save it as a new file type. Programs like Google Picasa, Adobe Photoshop, and ACDSee can convert NEF files for you.
