CR2 files hold unprocessed sensor data, so white balance and exposure are still adjustable. Converting to PPM bakes those decisions into the pixels, and highlight recovery is no longer available afterwards. Set white balance and exposure before the run rather than after.

CR2 to PPM Conversion: FAQ

What are CR2 files?

CR2 is the RAW format used by Canon cameras. Also known as "digital negatives", RAW images are often preferred by photographers because they can be highly customized during the digital post-processing and they retain a large amount of image details. The disadvantage of using this format is its enormous size, which makes it difficult to store or send by email. In addition, CR2s are not compatible with many image viewing programs and are not accepted by image sharing websites.

What are PPM files?

PPM or Portable Pixelmap files are image files included in Netpbm, an open source graphics program. The other widely used Netpbm formats are PGM (Portable Graymap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap). All three are image formats and are sometimes called collectively PNMs (Portable Anymap format). While PGMs contains grayscale images, PPMs include color images and they represent intermediary files used in the conversion of less known formats using the Portable Bitmap Utilities. PPM files are mostly operated on UNIX and Intel-based platforms.
