Convert NRW to PCDS

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 PCDS file extension stands for Photo CD Multi-resolution Bitmap Graphics, a format developed by Kodak in 1991 for digitizing and storing high-quality images on CDs. PCDS files were used to store scanned prints and slides, leveraging proprietary encoding to maintain image quality. This format was part of Kodak's Photo CD system, which aimed to provide a reliable method for archiving and accessing digital photographs.
