About formats

CR2 (Canon RAW version 2) is Canon's second-generation proprietary RAW image format, introduced in 2004 with the EOS-1D Mark II and used across Canon's DSLR lineup until the transition to CR3 beginning in 2018. CR2 files use a TIFF-based container that stores the raw sensor data compressed with a lossless variant of JPEG encoding (Huffman-coded prediction residuals), keeping file sizes manageable while preserving every bit of the original capture. Each CR2 file contains multiple image sections: a small thumbnail, a mid-size preview JPEG suitable for quick review, and the full-resolution RAW data at 14-bit depth on most bodies. The format records extensive shooting metadata including Canon's proprietary tags for lens model, autofocus point selection, Picture Style settings, dust-delete data from the sensor cleaning reference shot, and per-body calibration information. One advantage is the vast software ecosystem — CR2 is one of the most widely supported RAW formats in existence, handled natively by Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, DxO, RawTherapee, darktable, and dozens of other converters and viewers, owing to Canon's dominant market share during the DSLR era. Reliable archival longevity is another key strength: the TIFF-based structure and well-documented layout make CR2 files relatively straightforward to parse even with custom tools, and the format's ubiquity means archival support will persist for decades.
Developer: Canon
Initial release: 2004
EPUB (Electronic Publication) is an open ebook standard originally developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) and now maintained by the W3C following the organizations' merger in 2017. The first version carrying the EPUB name was approved in October 2007 as a successor to the Open eBook Publication Structure (OEBPS). An EPUB file is essentially a ZIP archive containing XHTML or HTML5 content documents, CSS stylesheets, images, fonts, and metadata organized according to the Open Packaging Format and Open Container Format specifications. The current major version, EPUB 3, supports reflowable and fixed-layout content, embedded multimedia, JavaScript interactivity, MathML equations, and rich accessibility features including semantic markup and media overlays for synchronized text and audio. A defining advantage is universal device support — unlike proprietary formats, EPUB works natively on virtually every non-Kindle e-reader, tablet, and reading application, from Apple Books and Google Play Books to Kobo and dozens of third-party apps. The reflowable text model is another core strength, automatically adapting pagination, font size, and margins to match any screen dimension and user preference. EPUB's open specification and active W3C stewardship ensure long-term preservation and vendor independence, making it the de facto standard for digital publishing across libraries, academic institutions, and commercial retailers worldwide.
