View and edit CR2 Files tutorial

One of the things that I see people having trouble with is viewing cr2 files. CR2 is a raw image file and in order to view it you have to download codes so that you computer can let you view them. So this is what you want to do in order to view and then edit your cr2 files.

Step #1

Download the Microsoft Camera Codec Pack when you install this you will be able to see the images on your windows os platform. You will be able to see the thumbnails and use the windows preview to see the image as well. So now that you are able to see them you now want to convert them so that you can share them on the internet.

Step #2

I have found a handy dandy little cr2 converter that will convert your cr2 files to jpeg, png, tiff, bitmap and more. You can download the cr2 converter here.

Now that you have downloaded and  converted your images to the file format that you need for the web you can either upload them to your website or edit them in your favorite editor.
