About the NRW format

Common uses
- Nikon COOLPIX compact camera photography
- Travel and everyday photography with RAW quality
- Converting compact camera RAW files
- Consumer-level RAW workflow
About the DDS format
DDS — DirectDraw Surface
DDS is Microsoft's texture format designed for real-time 3D graphics and DirectX applications. It supports GPU-native compressed formats (BCn/DXTn) that can be sent directly to the GPU without decompression, making it the standard texture format in game development.
Common uses
- Video game texture assets
- DirectX and OpenGL game development
- Game modding and texture replacement
- Real-time 3D application textures
