Convert NRW to G4

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 G4 file extension, standing for CCITT Group 4 Fax Image, is a specialized format used primarily for storing black-and-white facsimile (fax) images. Its origins trace back to the Consultative Committee for International Telegraphy and Telephony (CCITT), now known as the ITU-T, which developed the Group 4 standard in the 1980s to improve fax transmission efficiency over digital networks. This format employs a high compression ratio to reduce file size while maintaining image quality, making it ideal for archiving documents and transmitting faxes in professional and business environments.
