Converting Raw Images - Canon PowerShot A520 Manual

Chapter 6
Using Supplementary Features
If your camera supports RAW images you can handle higher quality
images.
However, the RAW format is a special file format and RAW images
cannot be opened or processed in their native format in standard image
processing programs. RAW images must first be converted to standard
file formats, such as TIFF or JPEG formats. This section explains
conversion procedures.
IMPORTANT
• See your Camera User Guide to check whether your camera
supports RAW images or not.
• Depending upon your camera model, a different program than
the one introduced here may start when you convert RAW
images. If that occurs, refer to the manual for the software
supplied with your camera.
REFERENCE
• RAW images are extremely high-quality images that are not
subject to any deterioration due to compression processing.
• See the Help file for conversion details. You can open the Help
file after clicking [Process RAW Images] in Step 2 by clicking the
[Help] menu in the Main Window that opens.
