Why convert NEF to PSD?

NEF served its purpose well, but modern workflows increasingly favor PSD for Photoshop layered design files. The shift is worth making. Converting NEF to PSD 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. This kind of format decision tends to matter more as a project scales up.
