- Description
- An NEF file is a raw photo captured by a Nikon digital camera. It is saved in an uncompressed format that stores data exactly as it was captured by the CCD. NEF files also contain image metadata, which includes the camera ID and the lens that was used.
- The XCF file format is the native image format used by GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image editing, free-form drawing, converting between different image formats, and more specialized tasks. XCF stands for eXperimental Computing Facility, which was the name of the lab where GIMP was originally developed. XCF files are designed to store all the information that GIMP needs to accurately render an image.
