At my work PC, I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 which supports the opening of NEF format, but its batch conversion doesn’t support conversion to JPG. But in Windows Vista (Windows Photo Gallery or Live Photo Gallery) there is no option to convert the files from NEF to any other formats.Īdobe: In my laptop, I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 and this has no plug-ins to open NEF (Nikon Raw) files, so I can’t use the batch file conversion option of PS Elements. With that in place, you can open and view the files just like JPGs and GIFs in Windows Explorer. Windows: If you want to view the files in Windows you need to install the plug-ins from Nikon, which installs the appropriate DLLs into Windows. The problem with this format is that very few programs know how to handle it correctly & fully. I hope this helps some others like me who want to convert a whole bunch of files from RAW to some other format.I have a Nikon D80 camera and for best results, I like to store the photos I take in Nikon’s Raw file format (.NEF). Darktable will then export the files in TIFF (or whatever) format. Click the EXPORT button in 'Storage Options' - see Step 1 above.Alternatively, use the SELECT ALL option near the top-right of lightable UI.Sadly, you can't see this very well on the screenshot, but I hope the reader understands the strategy. Use CTRL and LMB to multiple-select RAW images.
