I hope this helps some others like me who want to convert a whole bunch of files from RAW to some other format. Darktable will then export the files in TIFF (or whatever) format.
Click the EXPORT button in 'Storage Options' - see Step 1 above.
Alternatively, use the SELECT ALL option near the top-right of lightable UI. Sadly, you can't see this very well on the screenshot, but I hope the reader understands the strategy. Use CTRL and LMB to multiple-select RAW images. Select all of the images you wish to export / convert. Set the desired path for file export to disk, and conflict options. Open up 'Storage Options' in 'lighttable' section of Darktable, set the required settings. The process can be adapted for your own conversion requirements, but I wanted 8-bit TIFF - the reason why is irrelevant. Convert The Image Once your image is uploaded, click on the arrow next to the ‘to’ button and select JPG. While it is a proprietary format specific to Nikon cameras, it can be converted into other formats for greater compatibility with other software and devices.After some exploration, it is actually quite straight-forward. 1 is a free file converter tool that you can use to convert NEF to JPG, PNG, and other formats. Upload Your Image You can drag and drop the NEF image directly on the blue space provided or click on ‘CHOOSE FILE’ and select the image from your computer or phone. In summary, the NEF format provides professional photographers with the ability to capture high-quality, uncompressed images with greater flexibility and control during post-processing. This makes it particularly useful for photographers who need to adjust exposure or white balance during post-processing without losing image quality. One advantage of the NEF format is its ability to retain a high degree of image detail and color information. This allows for greater compatibility with other software and devices, while still maintaining the benefits of the NEF format. NEF files can be converted into other image formats such as JPEG or TIFF using software applications such as Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom. This makes the NEF format a popular choice for professional photographers who want to maintain the highest level of image quality and flexibility. Since NEF files are not compressed or processed, they allow for greater control over image processing during post-production. The NEF format provides photographers with the ability to capture high-quality images with greater detail and flexibility. It is based on the TIFF image format and contains uncompressed, unprocessed data from the camera's sensor. The Nikon Electronic Format (NEF) is a proprietary raw image format used by Nikon digital cameras.
