- Description
- A CR2 file is a raw camera image created by Canon digital cameras. It stores uncompressed image data exactly how it was captured by the CCD. CR2 files can be adjusted for white balance and exposure using several image-editing software programs, including the software bundled with Canon digital camera purchases.
- Compressed bitmap image that uses wavelet compression instead of the DCT compression used by standard .JPEG images; supports 16-bit color, alpha transparency, and lossless compression.
