Why convert CR2 to DDS?

DDS isn't automatically 'better' than CR2 in every case – but for Game textures and 3D graphics, it's the clearer choice. Converting CR2 RAW images to DDS applies essential post-processing: white balance, demosaicing, and tone mapping. The result is a standard image ready for printing or further editing in any software. It's worth doing once properly rather than repeatedly fighting CR2 limitations.
