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 JPEG XL (JXL) file extension, is a next-generation image format developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, combining Google's PIK and Cloudinary's FUIF formats. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, offering up to 60% better compression efficiency compared to traditional JPEG, while maintaining high image quality. Standardized in 2021, JPEG XL is designed for web delivery, professional photography, and digital printing, supporting ultra-high-resolution images, wide color gamuts, and advanced features like progressive decoding and multiple layers.
