Before you convert NEF to PSD

NEF files hold unprocessed sensor data, so white balance and exposure are still adjustable. Converting to PSD bakes those decisions into the pixels, and highlight recovery is no longer available afterwards. Set white balance and exposure before the run rather than after.

"Nikon's NEF files are legendary for quality, but they're huge and proprietary. reaConverter converts them to JPEG with stunning results – the dynamic range is retained, and the colours are spot on. I've processed over 10,000 NEFs with this tool and never had a glitch."

NEF to PSD 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 PSD files?

PSD is the default format for handling images using Adobe Photoshop and it represents a layered image file. PSDs allow later editing of available layers, including transparency, masks, alpha channels and texts, among others. After applying all desired editing, PSD files can be saved in Photoshop under more easily recognizable formats, such as JPEG or PNG, which are also smaller in size but flatten the image and hence do not allow later editing of layers.
