About the CRW format
RAW — Canon RAW (CRW)
CRW is Canon's original proprietary RAW format, used on early Canon digital cameras before the CR2 format was introduced. It stores unprocessed sensor data and remains widely encountered when working with archives from early-2000s Canon DSLRs.
Common uses
- Digitizing legacy Canon camera archives
- Post-production of early DSLR photos
- Historical photography projects
- Converting old RAW libraries to modern formats
About the HDR format
HDR — Radiance RGBE High Dynamic Range
HDR (Radiance .hdr) is a high dynamic range image format developed for the Radiance rendering system. It stores luminance information far beyond standard 8-bit images using a shared-exponent encoding, making it the standard for HDR environment maps in 3D rendering.
Common uses
- 3D rendering environment maps (IBL)
- HDR panorama photography storage
- VFX and CGI lighting reference images
- Tone mapping source images
