CR2 (Canon Raw 2nd edition) is a way for photographers to retain the highest level of quality during the digitization process of their pictures. It is extremely large in size because of its high resolution, making it a candidate for conversion at some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--what-is-the-indd\">What is the INDD?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The INDD is an Adobe InDesign file type that manages a wide scope of elements like page data and layouts. The INDD (\u003Ca href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Findesign-file-extension\u002F\">InDesign file extension\u003C\u002Fa>) is typically used by companies when they require professional design projects and creations like flyers.

However, there is a workaround that gives the same basic benefits. Here’s the easiest way to accomplish it. First, you’ll need to convert the CR2 into a file type capable of opening within INDD. Then, you’ll save the graphic inside INDD, which will make it, of course, an INDD file.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here’s a complete breakdown of the process. Use a conversion tool to bring the CR2 into a more accessible format. In this case, we’ll use PSD. I recommend the browser-based conversion tool, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fconvertio.co\u002Fcr2-psd\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Convertio\u003C\u002Fa>. Once you have the PSD file downloaded, launch Adobe InDesign. Next, import your PSD file. Now, simply save this file in the INDD format. Although it’s not a direct conversion path, this is as good as it gets when you need to convert a CR2 to INDD.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-44455\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19191901\u002Fconvert-cr2-to-indd-3.jpg\" alt=\"A computer with a camera and photo next to it.\" class=\"wp-image-44455\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19191901\u002Fconvert-cr2-to-indd-3.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19191901\u002Fconvert-cr2-to-indd-3-450x450.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19191901\u002Fconvert-cr2-to-indd-3-150x150.jpg 150w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19191901\u002Fconvert-cr2-to-indd-3-768x768.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">There is a unique way to make this conversion.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4--what-are-some-helpful-alternatives\">What are some helpful alternatives?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can tell, it’s not easy to make a clean conversion from CR2 to INDD. Instead, we should look for some different ways to make our CR2 image file more editable. As we found above, it’s possible to convert it to a PSD. However, the PSD has a lot of limitations in terms of shareability, since it’s large in size and not every user has access to Adobe systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, try converting to more common \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Fimage-file-types\u002F\">image file types\u003C\u002Fa> such as JPEG, PNG or BMP. The Canon software ‘Canon RAW Codec’ unfortunately no longer exists (discontinued by Canon), so there’s no official software to save CR2 files as other file types. Instead, we’ll need to make similar conversions like the ones explained above. For example, there are plenty of browser-based systems capable of converting the CR2 to file types such as a JPEG. This will make the file easier to share and more convenient for recipients.\u003C\u002Fp>",3,{"url":36,"url_md":37,"alt":38,"height":39,"width":40},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19191902\u002Fconvert-cr2-to-indd.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19191902\u002Fconvert-cr2-to-indd-450x300.jpg","A vintage camera lens.",533,800,[42],{"id":43,"slug":43,"title":44,"path":45},"photo-management","Photo management","\u002Fpost-category\u002Fphoto-management\u002F",[47,54,61],{"featuredImage":48,"postId":49,"slug":50,"title":51,"description":52,"path":53},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2016\u002F04\u002F19195151\u002Fstock-photo-image-library-450x300.jpg",10742,"organize-stock-photos","Refreshing ways for a business to organize stock photos","Stock photos require more sophisticated, complex organization.
