The raw file will have a .NEF extension, and the JPG will have the expected .JPG extension.

When you see noth thumbnails displayed together with the same number on them, the first one will be the JPG and the second will be the .NEF file, when using Windows anyway.

Read the articles contained in the following link, at the end you will have a better understanding not only RAW but the other image file formats. Note: The descriptor to the right of a file name is called "file extension". It does describes the type of file it is. You must know which program creates what extension.

One other issue that just occurred to me is that, by default, Windows does not display the file extension in Explorer. You will need to turn on that function and it depends on which version of Windows you are running as to how that is done.

The size of the images will be a clue, the NEF having a much larger amount of information (each pixel in each of three channels described by 16 bits instead of just 8) and thus a significantly larger file size.
However, as stated above, find out how to make your computer show extensions, its just a check box somewhere.

Also, you can hover your mouse pointer over the image thumbnail and it will display the file type, date, and size of the file.

If you have to ask it means you should stay with the JPGs. The raw files are not going to improve things w/o a fair amount of extra work that my do more harm than good.

Actually, all RAW files are proprietary so only Nikon uses .nef. Each company has its own extension and it's a problem for software writers. Adobe is probably the most current and inclusive.

And if anyone with a Canon is reading this thread, it's a CR2 file.

I have an Olympus and my camera has the option of taking raw and jpeg at the same time. I had the same problem of identiying mine. I found that if I right clicked on the picture and went down to properties , the type of files would be listed. My raw files were listed as ORF . The jpegs listed as jpeg. ORF stands for Olympus raw file. Yours would probably have some sort of similar listing.
