XCF Converter

What is a XCF file?

XCF or eXperimental Computing Facility is an image format developed by GIMP, an open-source image editor. Because of frequent format revisions, XCF is not recommended as a data-interchange format. XCF format supports layers, channels, transparency, and even paths and guides. However, XCF doesn’t support the undo option for saving history. The compression used for this format is with the RLE algorithm. To open and edit XCF format with other applications rather than GIMP is limited and challenging but not impossible. Image editors such as XnView, Inkscape, IrfanView, Paint.NET, DBGallery, etc., offer partial viewing and modifying of XCF files.

NEF Converter

What is a NEF file?

As an exclusive Nikon format, NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) contains a raw image with camera sensor metadata. These data include camera data, lens data, sharpness, contrast, white balance, and similar image information, which are stored separately and can be manipulated without affecting the original photo. Another feature of NEF format is that it preserves 12-bit to 14-bit data, which ensures an extraordinary tonal range of an image. NEF files are not compressed, which results in substantial sized files with excellent image quality. If you don’t have access to Nikon proprietary software, you can open and edit NEF files with the following apps Adobe Photoshop, IrfanView, Able RAWer, etc.
