"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 RAD 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 RAD files?

The RAD format is supported by a ray tracing application called Radiance, which contains several tools that support lighting simulation and measuring light levels. RAD files are often used in architectural project to design and evaluate lighting systems. Apart from lighting features, they can also save objects and materials, and they serve as input for OCT files that facilitate the scene rendering.
