Convert NEF to FL32

The NEF file extension stands for Nikon Electronic Format, a proprietary RAW image file format used by Nikon digital cameras. These files capture all image data as seen by the camera sensor, providing greater flexibility for post-processing and higher image quality compared to compressed formats. NEF files are essential for professional photographers and IT specialists in photo editing due to their uncompressed nature, allowing precise adjustments in color, exposure, and detail retention. Nikon introduced this format to enhance image fidelity and editing capabilities, maintaining a pivotal role in digital photography since its inception.

The FL32 file extension stands for FilmLight Floating-point Image, used primarily within the Baselight color grading and finishing platform developed by FilmLight. This format supports high dynamic range imaging by utilizing 32-bit floating-point precision, ensuring accurate color representation and extensive post-production flexibility. Introduced to meet the demanding requirements of professional film and video production, FL32 files facilitate advanced color correction and visual effects workflows, maintaining high fidelity throughout the editing process.
