Convert 3FR to CR2

Understanding 3FR and CR2 file formats

The 3FR file format is a raw image format used by Hasselblad digital cameras. It contains unprocessed image data directly from the camera's sensor, allowing photographers to have greater control over the editing process. The CR2 file format, on the other hand, is a raw image format used by Canon digital cameras. Like 3FR, CR2 files store unprocessed image data, providing high-quality images that can be extensively edited.

Why convert 3FR to CR2?

Converting 3FR files to CR2 can be beneficial for photographers who prefer using Canon's software or tools that are optimized for CR2 files. It can also be useful for maintaining consistency in file formats when working with multiple cameras or collaborating with others who use Canon equipment.

Best software for 3FR to CR2 conversion

One of the best software options for converting 3FR to CR2 is Adobe Lightroom. This powerful photo editing tool supports a wide range of raw file formats and offers a straightforward conversion process. To convert a 3FR file to CR2 in Lightroom, follow these steps:

• Open Adobe Lightroom and import your 3FR file.
• Select the imported file and go to File → Export.
• In the export dialog, choose the desired settings and select CR2 as the output format.
