Convert RW2 to RAD

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 RAD file extension, associated with the Radiance software suite, stands for Radiance Scene Description. It is used to describe materials and geometry for lighting simulations and rendering programs. Developed by Greg Ward at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Radiance employs ray tracing and an octree data structure for accurate lighting calculations. RAD files are ASCII text files that must be compiled into an octree before rendering.
