Convert NEF to HRZ

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 HRZ file extension is associated with Slow Scan Television (SSTV), a method used by amateur radio operators to transmit still images via radio waves. HRZ files store images rendered from SSTV audio signals, typically as 256x240 pixel RGB bitmaps. These files can be viewed using software like XnViewMP or Logipole Konverter. SSTV allows for the transmission of images over high-frequency bands using single-sideband modulation (SSB). The HRZ format is not widely produced by specific programs, but several image viewers support it.
