ARW to NUT Quality Analysis
14-bit uncompressed or compressed sensor data When this data is re-encoded into NUT Container, Designed for simplicity and low overhead Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity. Color accuracy is a priority in this conversion. Color profiles (sRGB, Adobe RGB, etc.) are preserved when both formats support them. The output closely matches your original. File size after conversion depends on the content complexity and your quality settings. NUT Container preserves all data losslessly, so output size depends on the content's inherent compressibility.
