SR2 at a glance
SR2
Convert to SR2 when maintaining an archive of older Sony raws or preserving compatibility with an earlier Sony camera workflow.
In most modern pipelines it is a source or recovery target rather than a preferred new output.
TEX at a glance
TEX
Convert to TEX when the destination workflow expects source for LaTeX or TeX-based publishing rather than a finished office document.
It is the right target for papers, theses, technical manuals, books, and any content that will be typeset with strong control over equations, references, and print layout.
Use TEX when structured source and compile-time publishing matter more than immediate WYSIWYG editing.
