[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 480202, member: 15805"] Raw is a word. Not an acronym. Raw is an adjective, like raw fish. NEF is an acronym and stands for Nikon Electronic Format. All .NEFs are raw files, but not all raw files are .NEFs. Different manufacturers use different extensions. Canon uses .CRW and .CR2, for example. Raw merely denotes the information as saved by the camera, with as little in-camera processing as possible. Yes, you can edit and save a raw file. Most programs do not over-write the file when you save it, and save your edits in what it called a 'side-car' file. Some programs, like Nikon's Capture NX2, ADD your edits to the file and save everything all over. [/QUOTE]
