How to Convert Multiple SR2 Images to BMP?
1. Download and Install reaConverter
Install reaConverter for fast SR2 conversion. Quick setup, then you're ready to process entire photo shoots. Apply image edits like resize, crop, or color adjustment while converting.
2. Load your SR2 files
Start reaConverter and add your .sr2 files. The software processes everything locally, so your files never leave your computer.
Select SR2s from a folder or drag-and-drop them directly into the reaConverter window.
3. Select BMP as output format
Choose BMP as the target format. Pick a destination folder or let reaConverter save files alongside the originals.
4. Start SR2 to BMP conversion
Press the Convert button and reaConverter takes care of the rest. Processing time depends on file size and volume.
After processing, find all your new .bmp files in the output location. The log shows details for each conversion.
What changes when you convert SR2 to BMP
SR2 files hold unprocessed sensor data, so white balance and exposure are still adjustable. Converting to BMP 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. SR2 carries 14 bits per channel and BMP carries 8, so tonal steps get coarser during conversion. It shows up first in smooth gradients such as skies. If the result will be edited further, move to an 8-bit format only at the very end.
