About CR2 Image (.CR2)
CR2 is a file format used by Canon digital cameras to store raw image data directly from the camera's sensor. These files preserve all the image details without compression, allowing for higher quality and more flexibility in post-processing. The CR2 format was introduced by Canon in 2004, replacing the older CRW format to accommodate larger image resolutions.
Technical Details
A CR2 file consists of raw sensor data along with metadata such as camera settings and thumbnail previews, structured according to the TIFF specification. These files typically use lossless compression methods to reduce size without sacrificing any image information. The format supports various bit depths, usually 12 or 14 bits per color channel, enabling finer gradations of color compared to JPEG formats.
Additional Information & Use Cases
CR2 files are primarily used by photographers who want maximum control over editing exposure, white balance, and other parameters without degrading image quality. Because they contain unprocessed data, CR2 files require specialized software like Adobe Lightroom or Canon's Digital Photo Professional to view and edit. Interestingly, CR2 is based on the TIFF file structure, which is why it can store complex image information efficiently.
