Convert CR2 to TGA

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 Truevision Graphics Adapter (TGA) file extension, also known as TARGA (Truevision Advanced Raster Graphics Adapter), is a raster graphics file format. Introduced by Truevision Inc. in 1984, it was initially designed for their TARGA and VISTA graphic cards, which were among the first cards capable of displaying true color (24-bit) images. TGA files are widely used in various professional applications, including video editing, game development, and computer imaging, due to their ability to store high-quality graphics and support for features like alpha channels, gamma correction, and HDR imaging. TGA remains a popular choice for professionals in the industry.
