Install it on Ubuntu with: sudo apt-get install imagemagick Still, their website says it does, so you should try it out and in any case, it is really worth learning. It would have been my first choice, but I found some (older) posts claiming that it did not work with NEF. It's free, open source, cross platform and can do just about everything you can think of including resizing, cropping, managing transparancy, montage and converting between most image formats under the sun. Probably the best tool around for all your batch image processing needs, however, is ImageMagick. To convert an entire directory: for filename in *.NEF do dcraw -c -w '$filename' | pnmtopng > '$filename.png' done NEF images to test this, but according to this page, you can do:Ĭonvert all NEF images to PNG: dcraw -c -w input.NEF | pnmtopng > output.png So, open a terminal and run these commands: sudo apt-get install netpbm dcraw Most image capture devices (such as digital cameras) that output JPG creates files in the Exif format, the camera industry standardized for metadata interchange.Īdobe Photoshop, Microsoft Paint, Windows Picture and Fax ViewerĪpple Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, the GIMP, ImageMagick, IrfanView, Pixel image editor, Paint.NET, Xara Photo & Graphic Designer.One solution, on Ubuntu, would be to use dcraw to convert NEF to PBM, and pnmtopng to convert PBM to png. Image files that employ JPG compression are commonly called 'JPG files' and are stored in variants of the JIF image format. The compression technique used is not processor-intensive, which was an advantage at the time of development due to hardware's relatively limited processing power in the 1980s. PCX utilizes a lossless compression technique. A PCX file comprises three elements: the header, image data, and the 256 color palette.

The PCX format was one of the first common bitmap image formats. JPG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little perceptible loss in image quality. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. JPG is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly those produced by digital photography. However, certain scanning devices still output to the. As a result, the file type is rarely used at present. It has since been superseded by other image formats such as png, gif, and jpeg. pcx file extension was developed in the 1980s by the ZSoft Corporation.
