re: pixel shift

re: Nikon Z8 Delivers Best Pixel Shift Out There... and botches the win by not doing the obvious

FastRawViewer and RawDigger are outstanding tools by highly skilled devlelopers who write oustanding code.

TIP: for evaluating exposure technique, use RawDigger on the NEF files for pixel shift, not on the NEFX. Ditto for Sony, Fujifilm. Reason being that some things change in the processed files.

Hopefully, PixelShift2DNG is coming soon.
