Limits
Starting point: NEF - NEF is Nikon's raw sensor format with unprocessed data and shooting metadata. Needs demosaicing first; exposure stays adjustable until export. Some writers use JPEG-in-TIFF encoding that not every reader opens. Export TIFF/TIF from NEF at matched dimensions; every pixel maps across, so large sources stay large.
