What changes when converting TOD to CRW?
Convert to CRW when maintaining compatibility with older Canon raw libraries or recovering historical camera originals. In most current workflows it is a source to preserve or migrate, not a preferred new output format.
What should I review after converting TOD to CRW?
After conversion, review these destination checks: Open converted output in vendor photo software and verify behavior on real samples; Compare output against the expected raw quality profile; Compatibility often depends on vendor or decoder support.
How can I keep quality stable in TOD to CRW conversion?
Run representative samples, keep settings deterministic, and monitor these risks: They are source formats, not publication-ready outputs; Compatibility often depends on vendor or decoder support; Validate destination compatibility before large-batch conversion.
