Convert CRW to EXR

The CRW file extension stands for Canon Raw CIFF Image Format, a raw image file format used by Canon digital cameras. Developed to store uncompressed and unprocessed images, CRW files offer high-quality image data that can be edited with Canon's software or third-party editors like Adobe Photoshop. Introduced by Canon, this format has been largely superseded by newer formats like CR2 and CR3 but remains significant in the history of digital photography for its role in preserving image integrity.

The EXR file extension stands for OpenEXR, a high dynamic range (HDR) image file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in 1999 for visual effects and film production. OpenEXR is widely used for its ability to store multi-channel, floating-point images, supporting complex visual effects workflows with superior image quality and precision. Its features include lossless and lossy compression, arbitrary image channels, and a flexible data structure, making it an essential tool in professional digital imaging and animation industries.
