[Digikam-users] Can digiKam write to Canon cr2 files?

[Gilles Caulier]

RAW is an image. It's a copy of internal sensor data not processed by
camera firmware.

It's not a suitable as well image as JPEG, but it's an image that need
post processing. In fact JPEG need also post processing to be show on
screen as decompression for ex.

Sure, RAW require more post computing, but it's an image. Read
wikipedia page for details :
