Converting Raw Images - Canon 6864A001AA - PowerShot A20 2MP Digital Camera Manual

Appendices
If your camera supports RAW files, you can obtain high quality
images. However, programs cannot open RAW files. You must
convert them to a format that can be used by programs. This
section describes how to convert RAW images.
REFERENCE
• The RAW format yields very high quality images with no
degradation during compression.
• RAW files are converted to TIFF files (that you can change
on the [File Format] tab of the [Preferences] dialog box) and
saved in the same folder as the original RAW file.
• While it depends on the power of your computer, generally
the conversion takes a bit of time to complete.
