Nikon NEF standard integrated in Microsoft Windows
Nikon and Microsoft announced a collaboration
involving the Nikon Electronic Format (NEF), Nikon’s popular RAW file
format, and Microsoft’s operating system. The partnership will allow NEF
files to be viewed and edited with all applications that access images within
Windows, the current operating system, and the next system, codenamed
"Longhorn". As a result of its inclusion in the Microsoft “Longhorn”
operating system, NEF will become more widely accessible and have an even
broader appeal than at present. Users will benefit from consistent file
management and superior image quality as well as the promise of a familiar
operating environment offered by Microsoft Longhorn.
