Format Overview & Applications
An NX image can travel with a product archive as a PDF proof; naming the source carefully helps keep that page linked to the SRW capture.
Technical Specifications & Codec Breakdown
LibRaw demosaics SRW using its AHD setting, camera white balance and embedded matrix, and writes upright 8-bit sRGB pixels for PDF embedding.
OS & Browser Compatibility
Samsung’s camera tools or compatible raw software can revisit SRW settings; the PDF page works better for an archive index or review note.
Useful info
Name the source consistently before converting so the PDF’s document title identifies the archived shot; the input basename is used as its title.
Format Comparison & Technical Specifications
A 4592×3056 Samsung NX SRW frame maps to a 30.6×20.4 inch archive page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information does the PDF title carry?
The PDF title is set to the source basename; the SRW file’s camera controls are not transferred as editable fields.
Can I re-develop the picture from its PDF page?
Use the SRW original for that work. The page holds only the LibRaw-rendered 8-bit sRGB image.
How can I match this page to its NX capture?
Include the frame identifier in the original filename before conversion; that name becomes the document title.
