Camera raw conversion requires decoding, demosaicing, white balance, tone mapping, and encoder choices.
Converting DNG to NEF decodes the source image and writes a NEF output. Use this route when NEF is a better fit for compatibility, file size, editing, or delivery.
Quality behavior depends on NEF compression: depends.
Choose conversion targets based on NEF compression, transparency, animation, metadata, and compatibility requirements.
Known metadata support: Exif, XMP, IPTC, DNG tags.
Raw converter support depends on camera model.
