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.
XBMOUT
An XBM file is an image written as C source code: an array of bytes with the width and height defined above it. That was the point in the X Window System, where a cursor or icon could be compiled straight into a program. It is monochrome and uncompressed, so it only makes sense for small, simple graphics. You still find XBM in Unix desktop source trees and in embedded projects that need a bitmap baked into the binary.
