Converting CR2 to DDS does not create transparency by itself.
Camera raw conversion requires decoding, demosaicing, white balance, tone mapping, and encoder choices.
Converting CR2 to DDS decodes the source image and writes a DDS output. Use this route when DDS is a better fit for compatibility, file size, editing, or delivery.
Quality behavior depends on DDS compression: depends.
Choose conversion targets based on DDS compression, transparency, animation, metadata, and compatibility requirements.
Known metadata support: Exif, Canon MakerNotes, XMP sidecars.
Game engines, Direct3D tools, and texture pipelines.
