"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 CG4 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 CG4 files?

CG4 is a raster format associated with CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-Cycle Support) — a program initiated by the US Department of Defense to capture and link military data. CG4 is compatible with a very limited number of digital graphics programs. Files with this extension contain a bitmap that often uses the CCITT4 compression, which is an old fax machine standard used for black-and-white images.
