Understanding NEF and PSD file formats

NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) is a raw image file format used by Nikon cameras. It contains unprocessed data directly from the camera's sensor, allowing photographers to have greater control over editing and post-processing. NEF files retain all the details captured by the camera, making them ideal for professional photography.

PSD (Photoshop Document) is a layered image file format used by Adobe Photoshop. It supports multiple layers, masks, and other advanced features, making it a preferred choice for graphic designers and photographers who need to perform complex edits and manipulations on images.
