Convert RW2 to VIPS

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 VIPS (Virtual Image Processing System) file format, developed by the libvips library, is designed for high-performance image processing with low memory usage. It supports arbitrary metadata and is optimized for command-line operations. Although not widely supported by other programs, it serves as an efficient intermediate format for tasks like image inversion and gamma correction. The format includes a 64-byte header with basic fields such as image width and a set of band-interleaved scanlines for the image data.
