RW2 (camera RAW)

What is an RW2 (camera RAW) file?

The RW2 file extension is the successor to the RAW format, used exclusively for raw images produced by Panasonic Lumix digital cameras. It stores unprocessed data from the image sensor along with a unique header containing metadata such as lens information, shutter speed, ISO settings, and color profile tags. The format allows for non-destructive editing by saving parameter adjustments as sidecar files or database entries rather than altering the original pixel data. It typically employs a proprietary lossless compression algorithm.

How to open an RW2 (camera RAW) file

RW2 files are supported by professional post-production software including Adobe Photoshop (Camera Raw plugin), Adobe Lightroom, and DxO PhotoLab. Panasonic bundles the SILKYPIX Developer Studio software with their cameras for native decoding. Windows 10 and 11 users can view these files in the Photos app after installing the Raw Image Extension. macOS users can preview and edit RW2 files natively through the Preview app and Photos app, leveraging Apple's system-level raw engine.

EPS

What is an EPS file?

The EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) format is a legacy vector graphics standard developed by Adobe in the late 1980s. It contains PostScript page description language commands describing 2D vector graphics, bitmap images, and text. Conforming to the Document Structuring Conventions (DSC), an EPS file includes a BoundingBox comment that defines the rectangular area of the graphic. It is strictly a single-page format intended to be embedded within other PostScript documents, often containing a low-resolution TIFF or WMF preview for onscreen display.

How to open an EPS file

While native OS support for EPS is deprecated in modern Windows and macOS (Preview no longer supports it as of macOS Monterey), professional vector editors are required for manipulation. Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW are the industry standards for editing EPS syntax. For viewing or rasterizing without expensive software, users can utilize Ghostscript, Inkscape (open source), or EPS Viewer. Converting to PDF is often recommended for broader accessibility.

RW2 to EPS

Why convert RW2 to EPS?

RW2 is an unprocessed sensor data format and EPS is a vector format.

Turn a RAW photo into a finished image

RW2 is unprocessed sensor data straight from the camera. Converting to EPS develops it into a normal image with the camera's colors applied, ready to share, print or post.

Use EPS where it fits best

EPS is a good choice for print design files and older vector logos. Converting lets you use the image in apps and places that expect EPS.
