Ideal for professional photographers and enthusiasts, NEF supports advanced editing workflows while providing superior image fidelity.

PNM

PNM (Portable Any Map) is a versatile file format for storing and manipulating images. It supports grayscale, black and white, and color images, making it ideal for various applications in graphics processing. PNM files are easily readable and widely supported by image editing software, offering a simple yet effective way to handle image data without loss of quality.
