Convert NRW to XPM

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 XPM (X PixMap) file extension is a format used for storing pixmap images, primarily in the X Window System for Unix-based systems. Developed in the late 1980s, it allows for the storage of images in plain text, making it human-readable and editable. XPM files are mainly utilized for defining icons and graphical elements in software applications. They support transparency and can be easily integrated into programming languages such as C, enhancing the customization and visual appeal of user interfaces. The format's simplicity and flexibility have cemented its role in software development and graphical design.
