Convert NRW to FPX

The NRW file extension stands for Nikon Raw Image, a proprietary raw image format used by Nikon digital cameras, particularly the high-end COOLPIX models. NRW files store uncompressed, unprocessed image data, allowing for greater post-processing flexibility and higher image quality compared to compressed formats like JPEG. Introduced to support Windows Imaging Component (WIC) functions, NRW files enable photographers to adjust color, brightness, and other image attributes with precision. Compatible with various image editing software, including Nikon ViewNX2 and Adobe Photoshop, NRW files are essential for professional photography.

The FPX file extension stands for FlashPix Format, a bitmap image format developed in 1996 by Kodak, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Live Picture. It was designed to handle large image files efficiently by storing images at multiple resolutions within a single file, allowing quick access to the appropriate resolution based on display requirements. FlashPix uses Microsoft's structured storage format, which organizes hierarchical data in a single file. This format was particularly useful for digital photography and imaging applications, optimizing storage and bandwidth usage.
