SRW to PNG for product photos and white backgrounds

An NX body with a sharp prime is still a capable product camera, and SRW files from a shoot often need to become marketplace images. Converting to PNG first hands the background tools the full developed detail with no compression, which matters most around fine edges such as jewelry chains or fabric fringes.

Then put the product on pure white for a listing, or replace the background with a scene for ads. The PNG is opaque and 8-bit, developed with the white balance the NX recorded and automatic brightness, so check that whites look neutral before you process a whole set; mixed lighting in a home studio can leave a color cast.

PNG files from a full-resolution NX frame are large. If the marketplace has an upload cap, compress the finished image after the background is done rather than before, so the background step works from the lossless file. Keep the SRW in case a shot needs developing again with different settings in a RAW editor.
