What is NC file?
The .NC file extension is an abbreviation of Unidata Network Common Data form (NC). NC is an implementation of a self-describing, portable data format issued by the Unidata Program Center. Developed originally to meet the need for developing and disseminating meteorological data, this data format supports data organization, validation, and interchange. [ ⏩ ] NC file extension
What is GBR file?
A .GBR file is a graphic file type that contains digital image information. This type of file format was developed by GIMP, an open-source graphics editing program. The GBR file contains Brushes which are commonly used in image editing and creation. Brushes are collections of pixels with a shape or brush pattern intended to provide users with a pre-defined set of image properties. [ ⏩ ] GBR file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from NC to GBR?
To successfully convert the NC file to GBR, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.NC). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case GBR (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than GBR).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. NC to GBR. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting NC files to GBR files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension GBR, while before this step we had the NC file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new GBR file, or not.
