RW2 does not support alpha transparency. Transparent GIF areas must be flattened onto a background color.
Animated, sequence, or multipage inputs need explicit frame/page handling.
Converting GIF to RW2 decodes the source image and writes a RW2 output. Use this route when RW2 is a better fit for compatibility, file size, editing, or delivery.
Quality behavior depends on RW2 compression: depends.
Choose conversion targets based on RW2 compression, transparency, animation, metadata, and compatibility requirements.
Known metadata support: comments, application extensions.
Raw converter support depends on camera model.
