Any advice on what programs i can use to convert NEF to JPG with minimal changes/loss to my RAW pictures? Mind you, JPG Fine isn't an option, i can see a noticeable difference there. Are all the pics you've taken so far still in NEF form? Why would that be? Never shoot in JPEG? If that's the case, there's: Photoshop, Lightroom, View NX, Capture NX, DxO.the list is endless as are the opinions as to which is 'better'.
You only have NEFs on your hard drive? Thanks for the information. To answer your question, i've played with all the the different formats and actually have compared them side by side and i can see a pretty noticeable difference.
I've read that RAW and JPG Fine are practically the same but when i looked at my shots, the JPG fine was hazier than the RAW and the RAW had better color/shading detail. An example was shooting into a tunnel that was fairly dark but in RAW i can make out the bricks inside the tunnel. I'm still by far an amateur, if even that. I like shooting RAW simply for color and detail. Who knows, maybe i'm going about it in a completely wrong way! Oh, and i hope some of those converters are free!
JPG reduces the original 12 or 14 bit data to 8 bits/channel. In the process it throws away a lot of tonal resolution and some dynamic range. This results in the differences you see. A carefully exposed JPG, and a scene with reasonable dynamic range, will be captured well; but RAWs will always store more information. I shoot RAW and render to JPG in-computer. Hard drives are cheap, and RAW coupled with automated conversion scripts in my post processing program gives me the benefit of a maximal-quality digital negative and near-zero-effort OOC (out-of-computer) JPGS with the option of changing my mind about how the final image is to look, or into what format it should be rendered (mostly JPG, but sometimes TIFF).
Usually the best RAW-to-JPG converter is the camera manufacturer's. With Nikon's NEF, this is definitely true, although the differences between Nikon's conversion and 3rd party products like LR have dramatically shrunk over the years. But if you use Nikon's free ViewNX2 program, you'll get JPGs out of your computer that should exactly mirror the rendering settings you used in camera - or, if you wish, ones that you can customize as needed.
