Re: [Digital BW] OT - Recovery of NEF files from CF card

2012-12-27 by Kip Babington

Well, I formatted the card after I got all the images off, so it's 
really academic at this point.  But I'm not sure how I would have edited 
a RAW to a TIFF inside the camera, should I want to.  I shoot in RAW, 
but didn't know there was an option to convert a file before it's 
downloaded.  Is that something that Nikon Capture does?  Or is it 
something you do if you download directly from the camera to the computer?

 From a file handling standpoint, I would think RAW files are preferable 
as long as the editing software can handle it (which Lightroom can) 
since that supposedly leaves the maximum amount of flexibility for 
editing.  Besides, TIFFs are usually MUCH bigger than the RAW files, IIRC.

Cheers,
Kip

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
