Convert RW2 to PGM

The RW2 file extension stands for Panasonic Digital Camera Raw Image File, primarily used by Panasonic LUMIX cameras. This format captures uncompressed image data directly from the camera's sensor, ensuring high-quality images suitable for professional editing. Introduced with models like the LUMIX LX3 and LX5, RW2 files are based on the TIFF specification and are similar to other raw formats like RAW and RWL. These files can be opened and edited using various software.

The Portable Graymap (PGM) file extension, originating in the late 1980s as part of the Netpbm project, stands for "Portable Gray Map". It serves as a simple, versatile format for grayscale images, enabling easy reading and writing by various programs. Due to its straightforward structure and plain text encoding, it's often used in academic and research settings where ease of parsing and accessibility are crucial. PGM files store grayscale images in a compact, efficient manner, making them an essential tool for image processing tasks.
