What is a CR2 file?
CR2 file is Canon RAW image Version 2 proprietary format introduced in 2004. Raw part of the image format means that these files contain all data from digital camera sensors, including color ratio in RGB space, camera data, lens data, etc. Since CR2 format acts as a digital negative with a lot of information, you can expect that CR2 files are enormous, uncompressed, and high quality. To be able to open the CR2 file, you’ll need Canon proprietary software or Adobe Photoshop, 3Ds Max, etc. Even though images in CR2 format can be easily modified, there is not much else you can do with them. Before sending CR2 files or sharing them on social media, you should convert them to a more compatible format, such as JPG.
What is a NEF file?
As an exclusive Nikon format, NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) contains a raw image with camera sensor metadata. These data include camera data, lens data, sharpness, contrast, white balance, and similar image information, which are stored separately and can be manipulated without affecting the original photo. Another feature of NEF format is that it preserves 12-bit to 14-bit data, which ensures an extraordinary tonal range of an image. NEF files are not compressed, which results in substantial sized files with excellent image quality. If you don’t have access to Nikon proprietary software, you can open and edit NEF files with the following apps Adobe Photoshop, IrfanView, Able RAWer, etc.
