What is? CRW File Format?
You have found the right place should you be seeking information about the CRW file extension. The file format created especially by Canon for usage in their digital cameras is called Canon Raw CIFF Image File. The file format forms the component of the CRW file extension.
CRW files are those for raw, uncompressed photo files. This implies that they have all the information the camera’s sensor gathered. Other file formats, such as JPEG, cannot replicate the same degree of accuracy and detail as this raw data, so more detail replication is made possible. This is thus because most PCs cannot open CRW files since they are usually saved in a format only compatible with Canon.
Unfortunately, opening a.CRW file can be accomplished in a few several ways. The first approach that one could apply is a program compatible with the CRW file format. Additionally capable of opening are other image editing software such GIMP and Corel PaintShop Pro. Two such applications that can accomplish this are Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.
As another option is to use a universal file reader, such as File Reader Plus. You won’t have to install another program to view the contents of the file since this utility is compatible with hundreds of different file formats including CRW.
Using an internet converter to translate your is the last choice. Open any image editor or viewer from a CRW file in another format, such as JPEG or PNG.
Regardless of the way you open your CRW file, you should be able to see and change the image in the way you like.
