Convert SR2 to PPM

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 Portable Pixmap (PPM) file extension, an image format within the Netpbm family, stores simple, uncompressed images. Introduced in the late 1980s, PPM supports RGB color and grayscale images, making it suitable for basic image processing and conversion tasks. Its plain text encoding simplifies debugging and data manipulation, although its lack of compression results in larger file sizes compared to modern formats. As such, PPM finds limited use in contemporary applications, mainly in educational and experimental settings where ease of implementation and readability are prioritized.
