Keep in mind, however, that the NEF file after converting to PSD may differ slightly from the original.

There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting NEF to PSD does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in NEF format, properly converted to a PSD file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file NEF the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of NEF file to other than PSD. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your NEF file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to PSD on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the NEF file in its original format (without conversion to PSD file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
