This system allows users to edit and organize NEF files. More importantly, it lets users save their NEF files as TIFF. To perform this function, locate the ‘Convert Files’ button on your Capture NX-D toolbar. It’s the far-right icon that looks like a document with a magnifying glass over it. In the popup window, click the ‘File format’ menu and select ‘TIFF’. Fill in the other options based on your preferences, then hit the ‘Start’ button.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want an alternate conversion method other than the Capture NX-D, there are browser-based systems you can use. These do require an extra step and an internet connection. The NX-D should be your preferred method, though these browser programs work in a pinch.

The Capture NX-D does allow for a little bit of editing, though it doesn’t satisfy users who need extensive image changes. Converting to a TIFF is prudent for editing purposes, as the file can then be opened using programs such as Adobe Photoshop, which are ideal for editing and making changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another reason users consider this conversion is it makes their image file more accessible and shareable. Chances are, sharing NEF files with clients and fellow team members will run into the problem of accessibility on the receiver’s end. The TIFF, on the other hand, likely won’t have this issue. Furthermore, sharing a TIFF file is a lot easier, considering the size is a lot more manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just because you want to convert your NEF files doesn’t mean they’re obsolete. In fact, converting to the TIFF typically splits your image library and allows for different types of sharing and storage. When the time comes to shift your NEF to a different file type, make sure you know how to do it quickly and efficiently.\u003C\u002Fp>",2,{"url":37,"url_md":38,"alt":39,"height":40,"width":41},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192404\u002Fconvert-nef-to-tiff-3.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F03\u002F19192404\u002Fconvert-nef-to-tiff-3-450x300.jpg","Arrows moving upward in space.",533,800,[43],{"id":44,"slug":44,"title":45,"path":46},"photo-management","Photo management","\u002Fpost-category\u002Fphoto-management\u002F",[48,55,62],{"featuredImage":49,"postId":50,"slug":51,"title":52,"description":53,"path":54},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F11\u002F19193144\u002Fconvert-psd-to-orf-2-450x316.jpg",37423,"convert-psd-to-orf","Is it possible to convert the PSD image file to ORF?","If you're trying to convert a PSD to ORF, you're probably not finding a lot of information about how to do it.
