**Bridge Nikon sidecars to Darktable, seamlessly.**

DarkBridge is a utility that converts Nikon NX Studio `.nksc` sidecar 
files into sidecar files compatible with Darktable.
It helps photographers migrate adjustment data from Nikon’s workflow to 
Darktable without manually recreating edits.

[NX Studio][nxst] (and the previous software as View-NX2, ViewNX-i, Capture NX-D) may
save image adjustments to "sidecar" files in an `NKSC_PARAM` folder within the
same folder as the original image. In this case, any changes to pictures will be
saved in image adjustment (sidecar) files (extension `.nksc`) separate from the
original image data. Because changes are not applied directly to the original
image data, pictures can be edited repeatedly with no loss in quality. Sidecar
files are also used to store labels, ratings, XMP/IPTC metadata, and other data
in addition to image adjustments.

> ***warning:** Image adjustments may be saved in the original image file, this 
> script do not support this mode. If an image file has not a side car file, the
> script will ignore it. Same for orphan sidecar files.*
