Getting Started
File Format Differences
Capture NX supports three different file
formats that can be used to save any
edited image file: the NEF format, the
TIFF format, and the JPEG format.
NEF
The NEF, or Nikon Electronic image
Format, was designed to act as the
archive file for your images. The NEF file
format saves the complete contents of
the Edit List along with the full image
information from the original image,
and all changes made to the image are
stored separately within the file. The
NEF format maintains the high level of
quality of the original file without any
loss in image quality while maintaining
a relatively small image size. NEF format
images remain nearly the same size as
the original image file, regardless of
the number of enhancements that are
applied within the image.
Capture NX utilizes a new cache system
with NEF files that helps increase the
speed of opening NEF images that were
previously edited within Capture NX.
This cache system creates a cache file
whenever an NEF image is saved which
Capture NX can use the next time that
image is opened. By utilizing the cache
system, Capture NX can utilize cache
file data to reduce the amount of data
that needs to be processed, thereby
greatly increasing the speed of opening
NEF images. Please see page 133 for
information on the cache system.
Please note
: Previous versions of
Nikon Capture and PictureProject are
not able to display enhancements that
are unique to Capture NX within NEF
files. If you would like to share your
NEF files with someone who does not
have a copy of Capture NX, it is recom-
mended that you save a copy of your
image into the TIFF or JPEG file format
to ensure that all of the enhancements
that you have made are available.
NEF image files are generated by all
Nikon Digital SLR cameras as well as a
number of COOLPIX cameras. Some of
the Digital SLR cameras offer you the
ability to create an uncompressed NEF
image file. These uncompressed NEF
image files can later be compressed
within Capture NX, if you choose, to
save additional hard disk space.
Please note: Compressed NEF files
cannot be saved in Capture NX as
uncompressed NEF image files.
