Convert CR2 to CUR

The CR2 (Canon Raw 2) file extension, developed by Canon Inc., is a digital image format used for capturing high-quality raw data from a camera's sensor. Introduced in 2004 with the Canon EOS-1D Mark II, the CR2 format preserves all the original details and metadata, allowing for extensive post-processing flexibility. It is preferred by professional photographers and IT specialists in image processing for its ability to retain maximum image information, facilitating enhanced editing and manipulation capabilities. The CR2 files are integral to workflows that require precision and detail, making them indispensable in fields like digital photography, imaging technology, and computer graphics.

The CUR file extension, short for Cursor Image, is a format used in Microsoft Windows for cursor icons. Its primary use is to display and manage custom cursor images, enhancing user interaction with graphical user interfaces. CUR files, a variant of ICO files, were introduced in early versions of Windows to enable animated and static cursor designs, elevating visual and functional user experiences. The structure typically contains image data, including multiple resolutions and color depths, which ensures adaptability across various display settings in Windows environments.
