Both formats, briefly
NEFIN
A NEF holds what a Nikon sensor recorded before the camera's own processing had a say. Editing is non-destructive: exposure, white balance and color live as instructions beside the original data, so you can change your mind as often as you like. Shoot NEF when the light is awkward or the frame matters. Convert a copy to JPG or TIFF when it has to reach a client, a print lab or a web page.
EXROUT
EXR was developed at Industrial Light & Magic for images that hold more range than a screen can display. Pixel values are 16 or 32 bit floating point, so a highlight can be recorded far above white and pulled back later in the grade. One file can also carry many channels at once, such as depth, motion vectors and separate render passes, which is why compositing and CGI pipelines work in it. Convert to PNG or JPG when the frame simply needs to be looked at.
