C++ source code for a NEF file decoder <http://www.cheeseplant.org/%7Edaniel/pages/denef.html> See also <http://www.outbackphoto.com/workshop/NEF_conversion/neffiles.html> And the 'Is NEF lossless' debate at <http://www.majid.info/mylos/weblog/2004/05/02-1.html> "It appears the sensor data is first quantized using a curve that maps the 4096 linear values returned by the sensor into 683 discrete values, that are then encoded using a variable number of bits (1 to 10) with a tree structure similar to the lossless Huffmann or Lempel-Ziv compression schemes used by programs like ZIP." - is this complex enough? :-) bye for now Keith Cooper =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
