Limits
Starting point: CR2 - CR2 is Canon's raw sensor format holding unprocessed Bayer data plus metadata. Needs demosaicing first; white balance stays adjustable until export. No transparency support, so alpha channels are dropped. Set the quality slider near 80-90 for JPG/JPEG photos from CR2, and keep dimensions matched to the source.
