    Allocation size issue - windows 10 - nef photos


    Hello Guys,

    we are desperate now and seeking for help.

    We have copied photos from camera usual size is 10 gb max per folder, nef photos. Now the folders have 3TB and 5TB size on 128GB SSD disk, 1 photo have 4-9GB which is not correct and blue arrows appears (windwos compresion) When we turn it of nothing happen as it does have enough space as C drive is now on 0 free space. Anybody can help with this?

    I have attached photos, it was moved, not copied and it is crucial to get them fixed , we tried to copy one photo to other PC, but the photo cannot be open even there, still 10gb.

    I also can not open the files at all, nothing can open 5gb . Foto. In TreeSize free we can see actual size but still can not open.

    Hi, just considering the .NEF file format, which is not natively handled by Windows, please see e.g.
    NEF File (What It Is and How to Open One)

    I hope someone else can comment on the size reported.

    Its a camera format, you just need a nikon codec and oyuy can open it, i can open them normally, older nef photos are ok. The problem comes witht he files, which were automaticaly compressed by windows, two arrows.

    Move or Cut and Paste all of the photo files to a much larger drive, Convert the .NEF files Nikon Electronic Format, as discussed previously. If still compressed, Then Uncompress the files Compress or Uncompress Files and Folders in Windows 10 | Tutorials Once uncompressed then download Infranview and do a Batch Resize of all of the photos at once to change the resolution. Once complete you can copy them back to the computer. Since it is an SSD it is advised to not place the pictures on the SSD but to transfer them to another internal drive, or a USB HDD or Cloud service.

    Weird. I can see previews and images.

    Wildbit can use it's own cache. Explorer cache would likely be slow.

    Can also open in JPEGView on my machine:

    @spunk:
    -Thanks man, i have tried to copy few of them to another PC on network, Files are uncompressed now, but with that huge size 1 photo 10gb,i have tried your infranwiew and it not even open the photo, stuck not responding, its really huge, i am going through the INTERNET some says that this was bug with automatic uncompress ,that windows udpate can repair it we had installed windows udapte today at 3pm without knowing that something gonna be ****ed. copy photos at 4-5 pm, trying to solve it for few hours, so i tried update again, and windows is now downloading whole new system, its visible in TreeSize free that hidden folder with new OS was downloaded so we are now waiting what gonna happen, then i will try to turn of decompresion manualy through cmd.

    We are also now steps forward as we delete almost everything what was possible and there is now free space on C , in TreeSize we can see actual size of images 1 photo 50mb. but when trying to uncompres folder. Now enough space and still saying size 7TB which is not ****in possible. I hope windows udpate gonna solve this shit
