CR2 Image to RB conversion is the process of transforming Canon's raw CR2 photo files into the RB raster image format, converting camera sensor data into a viewable, editable image file. This conversion decodes the CR2 raw data (including metadata like exposure and white balance) and encodes it into RB with chosen compression/quality settings for sharing, editing, or archiving.
