Nikon D750 RAW Files: Open, Cull & Edit .NEF Free

A long-time favorite for wedding and event photographers thanks to its balance of speed, low-light performance, and dual card slots. A 6.5 fps burst across a full wedding day adds up to thousands of frames between ceremony, portraits, and reception. Automated sharpness and duplicate scoring is what keeps a next-day delivery timeline realistic.

Editing D750 files with imagic

imagic opens .NEF files from the Nikon D750 natively on Windows and macOS. Point it at a card or shoot folder and it builds previews, scores every frame for sharpness, closed eyes, and composition, and groups near-duplicate bursts — so a full shoot collapses to its keepers before you edit anything.

Processing runs through the bundled RawTherapee engine, entirely on your machine: batch-apply one look across the keepers and export JPEGs in a single pass. Nothing uploads, which matters at about 22-28 MB per frame. The 7-day trial is full-featured and needs no card; licenses are one-time, from €19.
