In the process it throws away a lot of tonal resolution and some dynamic range. JPG reduces the original 12 or 14 bit data to 8 bits/channel. Oh, and i hope some of those converters are free! Who knows, maybe i'm going about it in a completely wrong way! I like shooting RAW simply for color and detail. I'm still by far an amateur, if even that.
An example was shooting into a tunnel that was fairly dark but in RAW i can make out the bricks inside the tunnel. I've read that RAW and JPG Fine are practically the same but when i looked at my shots, the JPG fine was hazier than the RAW and the RAW had better color/shading detail. To answer your question, i've played with all the the different formats and actually have compared them side by side and i can see a pretty noticeable difference. You only have NEFs on your hard drive? Really? If that's the case, there's: Photoshop, Lightroom, View NX, Capture NX, DxO.the list is endless as are the opinions as to which is "better". Thank you.Īre all the pics you've taken so far still in NEF form? Why would that be? Never shoot in JPEG? Any advice on what programs i can use to convert NEF to JPG with minimal changes/loss to my RAW pictures? Mind you, JPG Fine isn't an option, i can see a noticeable difference there. I'd like to upload some of my pictures to sites like Flickr and Facebook but they'll only accept known picture files - NEF not included.
