Canon RAW 2
The standard raw format for Canon DSLRs from 2004 to 2018.
CR2 (Canon Raw version 2) is the proprietary raw image format used by Canon EOS digital SLR cameras from the mid-2000s until the introduction of the CR3 format in 2018. If you shot with a Canon 5D Mark II, 7D, or Rebel T3i, you have thousands of these files. Like all raw formats, a CR2 file contains the unprocessed data from the image sensor. It is not an image yet; it is a dataset of light intensity values that must be 'demosaiced' by software to create a viewable picture. This allows you to change the white balance, recover highlights, and pull detail out of shadows long after the photo was taken.
CR2 is based on the TIFF file structure. It uses lossless compression to store the sensor data, which is typically 12-bit or 14-bit depending on the camera model. The file contains the raw image data, a full-size JPEG preview (for reviewing on the camera screen), and extensive 'MakerNotes' metadata that records every camera setting, from the lens used to the focus point selected.
CR2 replaced the older CRW format in 2004 with the release of the EOS 20D. It remained the standard for 14 years, making it one of the most widely supported and understood raw formats in history. It was eventually succeeded by CR3, which offers better compression.
Portable Pixel Map
The standard uncompressed color format of the Netpbm suite.
PPM (Portable Pixel Map) is the color counterpart to PGM and PBM. It is the most widely used format in the Netpbm library for storing full-color RGB images. Like its siblings, it is designed for extreme simplicity and ease of interchange between Unix tools.
PPM files come in two flavors: P3 (ASCII) and P6 (Binary). - **ASCII (P3)**: Pixels are written as readable RGB triplets (e.g., `255 0 0` for red). - **Binary (P6)**: Pixels are raw byte triplets. The header is minimal: Magic Number, Width, Height, Maxval. It does not support alpha channels (use PAM for that) or compression.
Developed by Jef Poskanzer in 1991 to bring color support to the pbmplus (Netpbm) toolkit. It became the lingua franca for Unix graphics utilities.
