| Description | NRW format is a type of image file used by some Nikon digital cameras. It is a raw image format that stores the image data exactly as it was captured by the camera's sensor, without any processing or compression. The NRW format is similar to other raw image formats such as CR2 and NEF. |
| Technical details | The NRW file contains all the information captured by the camera's sensor, including color, brightness, and exposure settings. This means that the NRW file can be processed and edited in various ways without losing any of the original image data. NRW files can be opened and edited in software applications that support raw image formats, such as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Nikon's Capture NX-D software, and other third-party applications. The NRW format typically has a larger file size compared to compressed image formats like JPEG, as it contains uncompressed image data. This may result in NRW files taking up more storage space on a memory card or hard drive, but it also means they offer higher image quality and more flexibility in post-processing. Additionally, NRW files may include metadata such as camera settings and location information. |
