The format CR2 (Canon raw version 2) was developed in 2004 by Canon Inc. with the purpose of storing digital images. The main difference between CR2 and more common formats like JPG or PNG is that CR2 does not offer ready to view pictures. Raw formats like CR2 are advantageous mainly because CR2 enables the user to post process the image easier than ready to view without worrying about the quality loss. CR2 files are based on the TIFF (Tagged Image file) file specification. CR2 format as well as other raw images, can be viewed using programs like Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, digiKam etc.
