Converting NEF Images to JPEG using Exiftool in FITS

When working with images, it's common to encounter issues when trying to convert them from one format to another. In this case, we'll be discussing how to use Exiftool in conjunction with FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) to convert NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) images to JPEG.

To begin, let's start by examining the error message we may encounter when running FITS:

```

#Example FITS output for the above README.md

11:17 PM .jhove.JhoveBase init

Make Exiftool executable (Required for NEF image conversion to JPEG in derivative ~'

# fits -i //fits/README.md

```

In order to resolve this issue, we need to ensure that Exiftool is executable. This can be done by making the necessary changes to the `/opt/sidora/fits/xml/exiftool/exiftool_image_to_fits.xslt` file.

Upon inspection of this file, we'll notice a specific section that needs to be edited in order to provide consistent camera make and model fields in the FITS output. This is crucial for accurately identifying the source of our images.

By following these simple steps, we can successfully convert NEF images to JPEG using Exiftool in FITS. This will not only simplify the image conversion process but also ensure that our images are properly identified and processed.
