Camera raw conversion requires decoding, demosaicing, white balance, tone mapping, and encoder choices.
Converting ARW to CR2 decodes the source image and writes a CR2 output. Use this route when CR2 is a better fit for compatibility, file size, editing, or delivery.
Quality behavior depends on CR2 compression: depends.
Choose conversion targets based on CR2 compression, transparency, animation, metadata, and compatibility requirements.
Known metadata support: Exif, Sony MakerNotes, XMP sidecars.
Raw converter support depends on camera model.
