Understanding Canon's CR2 Raw File Format

CR2 is a proprietary file format created by Canon that is used to save digital photographs with great precision.

CR2 images are lossless as they are based on the TIFF specification, keeping all information from the photographs taken by the cameras’ sensors and permitting significant editing without declining quality. CR2 files are of great importance for professional photographers because they contain exposure, white balance, lenses used, and other vital metadata, allowing dynamic changes to be made with precision.

The Importance and Usage of the CR2 Format

The CR2 format is widely popular in graphic design, photography, and archiving images for future use. Its pros include high standard image quality, free space, significant editing and erasing opportunities.

Many editing programs, such as Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, support CR2 images, however, they often need to be changed for easier use in other applications. Due to rich data retention, CR2 is a well-known standard for enhancing and preserving photographs taken digitally.

JPG: Digital Imagery Explained

JPG, shortened from Joint Photographic Experts Group, is the name ascribed to the new standard for digital imagery launched in 1986 by the International Organization for Standardization. Created to enable photo-quality graphics to be displayed on computer screens, this trail-blazing method allowed lossy compression to be manifested for the first time.

This process eliminates the factors of pictures that are indiscernible to the human eye while significantly decreasing the size of the depiction's file. Miniaturizing these items at a ratio of up to 100:1, the impact upon the use of available storage space is ground-breaking in its efficiency.

JPG's Widespread Popularity

Since its inception, the JPG format has become one of the most popular ways to use imagery on the internet. As JPG files feature almost universal accessibility, they are easily transferred from one website, device, or electronic to another seamlessly. This attribute is further buoyed by the generally intact quality that JPG images tend to retain over their intended usage.
