Convert SR2 to DDS

The SR2 file extension stands for "Sony RAW 2", a format used by Sony digital cameras to store uncompressed image data. Introduced in December 2005 with the Sony DSC-R1 model, SR2 files capture raw image data directly from the camera's sensor, preserving maximum detail and dynamic range for post-processing. This format is favored by professional photographers for its flexibility in editing and superior image quality compared to compressed formats. SR2 is part of Sony's suite of RAW formats, which also includes SRF and ARW.

The DirectDraw Surface (DDS) file extension is used primarily for storing graphical textures and cubic environment maps in the field of computer technology. Introduced by Microsoft with DirectX 7.0, DDS files facilitate efficient loading and storage of texture data, crucial for rendering 3D graphics in real-time applications like video games and simulation software. These files support both uncompressed and compressed formats, leveraging S3 Texture Compression (S3TC) to optimize memory usage and performance. DDS files are indispensable in modern graphics programming, enabling quick texture manipulation and robust graphical asset management.
