Nikon Electronic Format (.nef)

The NEF file extension stands for Nikon Electronic Format, a proprietary RAW image file format used by Nikon digital cameras. These files capture all image data as seen by the camera sensor, providing greater flexibility for post-processing and higher image quality compared to compressed formats. NEF files are essential for professional photographers and IT specialists in photo editing due to their uncompressed nature, allowing precise adjustments in color, exposure, and detail retention. Nikon introduced this format to enhance image fidelity and editing capabilities, maintaining a pivotal role in digital photography since its inception.

Joint Photographic Experts Group (.jpg)

The JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) file extension, abbreviated as JPG, is a widely used format for digital images. Originating from a standard established by the Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992, it became the go-to choice for compressing photographic images due to its balance of compression and image quality. JPG files are particularly effective for web use, digital photography, and archival storage where color fidelity and small file size are paramount. This format's lossy compression reduces file size by discarding non-essential data, making it efficient for online image sharing and storage.
