2. Load your SR2 files
Add SR2 files to reaConverter. One file or a thousand, the process is the same. Everything runs locally on your machine.
Drag-and-drop SR2s directly into reaConverter or use the folder browser to load entire directories.

Select DDS as target format and pick where to save results. You can keep default settings or fine-tune the output.

4. Start SR2 to DDS conversion
Press Convert to begin processing. You can watch the progress or minimize and let it run in the background.

Your converted DDS files will appear in the destination folder as soon as processing completes.
What changes when you convert SR2 to DDS
SR2 files hold unprocessed sensor data, so white balance and exposure are still adjustable. Converting to DDS 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 DDS 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.
