From NEF to Jpeg

Postby W00DY on Thu Nov 04, 2004 8:23 pm

I know this has probably been asked... and I know I shoudl know better than to ask without searching... But it's late (well not really), and my little girl is up and I haven't seen her all day....

OK

Is there a program that will convert your NEF files to JPEG quickly and easy?

Thanks

Another option is Bibble - http://www.bibblelabs.com

There's a 14 day trial so you can have a play. I looked at it before PS Elements 3 came out and I've now got Elements 3 which handles NEFs (single and in bulk) so I'm going to stick with that.

Cheers

Woody... you can also use somthing like Irfanview... it works quickly and easily and let you resize etc etc... of course anything quick like this is not going to give you the quality of a NC/PS workflow... but for throughing stuff up to the web it does fine.

The camera does it in the blink of an eye. Or not even that! :)

And NikonView - which you can DL for free - does it in batch mode on a whole folder, with (as much as I like Irfanview) far better quality results.

What browser are you using to dl NV ?

If you're using IE, try Netscape, and vice versa.

Please let us know how it goes.

You're welcome.

It's a common problem that I'd seen in some versions of Netscape, hence I thought it worthy of mention.

Thanks for all the replies... I used Nikon View and it seemed like the quality was fine.

Try viewRAW. It is Free.

http://viewraw.photosapien.com/

It is faster than Nikon View. It also support saving JPG or TIFF files.

Check yourself if quality is OK.
