Why convert NEF to HDR?
Because NEF files use lossless RAW compression and 14-bit per channel, they are not ideal for High dynamic range photography. Converting them to HDR (lossless, 32-bit float) solves this. Converting NEF to HDR extracts the small JPEG preview the camera embedded in the RAW file — it does not perform a full RAW decode (demosaicing, white balance, tone mapping) on the sensor data. The result is a quick, preview-quality image; for full-resolution processing, use dedicated RAW software like Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom. Think of it as future-proofing your files rather than just converting them.
