There’s a lot more to it than that, but we don’t need to over-complicate the concept, either. Simply put: Metadata is a way to organize and make otherwise inadequate data useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003C\u002Fcto-card>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saying that metadata is information about other data is about as helpful as saying an action movie is a type of film, or that a Beethoven song is a musical song by Beethoven. Both of these definitions, like the now overused and common metadata definition, are correct but horribly wrong at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just as you might base your selection in renting a film you’ve yet to see off metadata (the title, description, director, stars, etc.), many people rely on this same helpful description to understand, learn from and organize their data.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185943\u002Fmetadata-3.jpg\" alt=\"A person renting a movie on a tablet.\" class=\"wp-image-53344\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185943\u002Fmetadata-3.jpg 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185943\u002Fmetadata-3-450x263.jpg 450w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let’s say you’ve downloaded a picture, and your goal is to understand its contents completely without looking at the actual image, but instead relying on the metadata. In this particular instance, the title is labeled: Bears. That’s pretty helpful in giving us an idea of what type of picture we’re looking at. Depending on who we are, we may think it’s a photograph of a couple grizzly bears in the snow, or maybe the 1985 NFL team the Chicago Bears. Metadata helps us fill in the gaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, we see the date: 1508. Now, based on the metadata about our image, we can assume that it’s a picture of a bear that is drawn or painted, because photographs didn’t exist at the time it was completed. Let’s continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next piece of information we’re given is listed as author: Raphael. We can now assume our picture is painted (by Raphael).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taken together, the metadata tells us: This is a painting by Raphael of three large bears, completed in the year 1508.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We could then organize the picture into different categories (paintings, animals, nature, etc.), which would help us relate it to other images.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you begin to familiarize yourself with the concept of metadata, it’s important to see plenty of helpful examples to make it easy to understand. Let’s look at some common examples that I’ve selected.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--illuminating-metadata-examples\">Illuminating metadata examples\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You’ll see plenty of examples throughout this guide that demonstrate ways in which metadata is used. However, this section will focus in-depth on specific examples, to show metadata in action.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, before going into these examples, you’ll need a brief understanding of what metadata elements are. These are the types of descriptors used for a particular piece of data. They are typically things such as title, author, dates, etc. It becomes clear why having the right elements is so important, as it would be helpful to have a title element for a book or a film, but probably not so much for an amateur photograph.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Films\u002Fmovies\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A movie is a very eye-opening way to show the importance of metadata and here’s why: The data of the film is the contents, i.e., what you see when you watch the movie. The metadata is all of the information on the box or cover. Without metadata, the only way to get a firm grasp on the data would be to watch the movie in its entirety.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"562\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185939\u002Fmetadata-12.png\" alt=\"The Harry Potter film cover.\" class=\"wp-image-53356\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185939\u002Fmetadata-12.png 1020w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185939\u002Fmetadata-12-450x248.png 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185939\u002Fmetadata-12-768x423.png 768w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the example above, relevant metadata includes the following:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Title: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets\u003Cbr \u002F>Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Alan Rickman\u003Cbr \u002F>Release date: Nov 15, 2002\u003Cbr \u002F>Director: Chris Columbus\u003Cbr \u002F>Format: DVD\u003Cbr \u002F>Rating: PG\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Print photographs\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will discuss digital images in an example later, but for now let’s focus on old-school print photographs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185938\u002Fmetadata-13.png\" alt=\"A picture of a mountain.\" class=\"wp-image-53357\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185938\u002Fmetadata-13.png 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185938\u002Fmetadata-13-450x300.png 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185938\u002Fmetadata-13-768x512.png 768w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the image above is a digital representation, but imagine it’s a print you can hold in your hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The common photo metadata elements include: author\u002Fphotographer, camera make\u002Fmodel, location, date.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You’d be able to get a pretty good feel for the above photograph with just a few metadata elements. For example, if the photographer was someone who liked scenes of nature, and the location was given as well as the time, you could make an estimate that the picture in question was taken at sunrise in the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paintings\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The assumption with metadata is that at some point someone might need to use it when they’re unable to access the data it describes. There are elements of this assumption in many situations involving paintings. There are also other factors that complicate the process if metadata isn’t available in full.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let’s break down the different ways paintings are managed using metadata. The first thing that needs to be focused upon is the depth of the information provided. Here is a problem one might encounter with insufficient metadata about a painting:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Title: Night, Starry\u003Cbr \u002F>Creator: Van Gogh\u003Cbr \u002F>Type: oil painting\u003Cbr \u002F>Date: 1888\u003Cbr \u002F>Subject: stars, night\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider the above metadata and envision the painting it’s describing.

Including the more detailed title (starry night over the rhone) would likely be enough to make things clearer. The location of the painting’s subject matter also would give a firmer basis.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another important factor with paintings’ metadata is the evolution of technology. Where at one point, ‘oil’ may have sufficiently described a work of art, now things like ‘jpeg’, ‘png’, ‘photocopy’ and other variants become involved in the process. There are times when Starry Night, for example, is in JPEG format, and this might be relevant to the catalog it’s entering. The point of all this isn’t to say metadata is confusing, but to point out that lack of metadata is confusing, especially with paintings.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Books\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A book is similar to a film in its metadata, as the content of the book is the data.

Most people will rightly value the metal detector and map highly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is metadata in a nutshell. It’s great that the needles (data) exist, but they’re always hidden in a sea of endless data. Without the metal detector (metadata), you wouldn’t really care how valuable the data potentially could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this isn’t to say that metadata’s only use is searching for data, but it does paint an illuminating picture of why, especially in today’s climate of digital data growth, metadata is so crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without further ado, let’s dig further into what makes metadata so important. The following are a few of the many reasons why metadata needs to be on everyone’s radar.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expands the usage of specific data\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One interesting and underutilized aspect of certain metadata is it has the potential to broaden the potential usage of certain pieces of data. When a piece of information or group of data is specifically dedicated for a distinct function, often it’s the metadata attached that allows it to be used for something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the content of numerous computer files might initially only serve those who are willing to sift through all of it and understand the information within. However, other parties could gather further uses for the data by exploring the metadata attached.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preserves and supports archived data\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s often common knowledge that metadata helps store and preserve large amounts of information, but what isn’t always known is how drastic this has become, especially with the introduction of digital data.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185943\u002Fmetadata-5.jpg\" alt=\"An archive of data servers.\" class=\"wp-image-53347\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185943\u002Fmetadata-5.jpg 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185943\u002Fmetadata-5-450x263.jpg 450w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, physical items were stored using metadata. Now, many of these are digital items stored using metadata. With the constant growth of digital data, the purpose of metadata has grown and propped up certain industries who rely on the successful and efficient storage of information. This helps in all different types of situations, such as pulling legal records or finding personnel information.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guides people’s situational decisions\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s common to hear how metadata helps organize and store things. For example, in a large library, metadata helps maintain the books, their order and how easy it is to find them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s true: Metadata is great for finding things when you know exactly what you’re looking for. But because metadata is all about providing context, it can be just as useful if you don’t know what you’re looking for yet – especially if you’re narrowing down options to make a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185942\u002Fmetadata-6.jpg\" alt=\"A pair of feet amongst arrows on the ground.\" class=\"wp-image-53348\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185942\u002Fmetadata-6.jpg 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185942\u002Fmetadata-6-450x263.jpg 450w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If, for example, you were selecting a movie to watch on Netflix, you would use the metadata (title, preview image, description, stars\u002Fdirector) to guide your choice, not the actual content of the film (data). So, in a sense, metadata is ultimately responsible for helping us make choices concerning data.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you have some important reasons to understand metadata, let’s examine the different types.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-4--types-of-metadata\">Types of metadata\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Descriptive metadata\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Descriptive metadata is likely what most people think of when they hear metadata. This type of metadata gives information about items depending on the applicable elements of the object. These elements are ever-changing and vary, but they remain fairly consistent when objects of similar categories are in focus. For example, ‘title’ is a common element in metadata for a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185942\u002Fmetadata-7.jpg\" alt=\"A pen above descriptive data.\" class=\"wp-image-53349\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185942\u002Fmetadata-7.jpg 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185942\u002Fmetadata-7-450x263.jpg 450w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Descriptive metadata is quite easy to grasp, as it simply is the information that provides insight into certain items, such as title of a movie, director of the film, etc. Where it can get complicated is when the item being described has rare or unique elements needed to describe it. This is most often the case with things like webpages, as the descriptive metadata needed for these is more code-oriented. However, a pattern will quickly emerge as you begin to see metadata for these types of items as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use metadata\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cem>Use\u003C\u002Fem> metadata is information collected and organized when someone accesses or uses a digital object.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, let’s say that Amazon.com wanted to be more involved in the data of their digital sale items. They decide to focus on the movie ‘Friday the 13th’, which they sell as a digital download. By focusing on \u003Cem>use\u003C\u002Fem> metadata, they could find out how many copies were sold\u002Fdownloaded in the year, what time of day, which day of the week or month, what items were purchased alongside the movie and the buyer’s geographical location.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185940\u002Fmetadata-9.jpg\" alt=\"Scrolling data numbers vertically.\" class=\"wp-image-53352\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185940\u002Fmetadata-9.jpg 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185940\u002Fmetadata-9-450x263.jpg 450w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, upon first glance, this seems like information overload, and one might feel this is a poor use of metadata. However, this could not be further from the truth. In fact, in the above example, \u003Cem>use\u003C\u002Fem> metadata has given Amazon a goldmine of information, which can be used to better sell their products in the future. Here’s how.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly and most obviously, how many files were purchased gives a baseline example to reference for comparison of future and previous years. Next, the time of day purchased explains buying habits of film (probably not of specific titles, though).\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u003Cem>use\u003C\u002Fem> metadata gives Amazon the day of the week the movie is purchased as well. If most of their sales are coming on Friday, it’s a fair statement to say that the day itself (Friday) is reminding people of the movie (Friday the 13th), if only subconsciously. They can also see which month of the year it’s purchased in. If there are more purchases in October, it can be assumed that the film is being remembered by customers during Halloween. As you can see, the sky is the limit with metadata.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"641\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185933\u002Fmetadata-22.jpg\" alt=\"A cat with a '13' as its shadow.\" class=\"wp-image-53374\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185933\u002Fmetadata-22.jpg 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185933\u002Fmetadata-22-421x450.jpg 421w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how does this example explain how \u003Cem>use\u003C\u002Fem> metadata is helpful? In the above scenario, it prepares the vendor to make more sales at a certain time of the year or day of the week. Whether this results in them raising or lowering prices is up to them. The fact is they have a better understanding of market habits, at least within their industry. For example, Amazon could raise the prices of ‘Friday the 13th’ in October or on Fridays. They could also recommend it to customers purchasing other scary films.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of metadata is collected often with the intention to make inferences about the user involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Administrative metadata\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Administrative metadata gives information about data in its entirety – from its creation to its final, or current, state.

No matter how complex or extensive you believe certain data sets to be, remember that their resulting metadata is much more expansive. This expansion doesn’t result, as it might sound, in higher levels of complexity, but instead results in simplification, as the tangled web of data is clarified immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you are aware of the different \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Ftypes-of-metadata\u002F\">types of metadata\u003C\u002Fa>, here’s a look at some of the things you can do with metadata.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-5--what-can-you-do-with-metadata\">What can you do with metadata?\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question of what can you do with metadata has been indirectly answered throughout this guide, but I’ll touch on some of the most common and helpful things here.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing metadata can help you do is find information you need that would otherwise be nearly impossible to acquire.

In fact, saying that data is growing at an exponential rate is now almost an understatement. Furthermore, there is a united effort worldwide to unify the protection efforts for data, building the case for continuing metadata growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185940\u002Fmetadata-10.jpg\" alt=\"A graph of data expanding.\" class=\"wp-image-53353\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185940\u002Fmetadata-10.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185940\u002Fmetadata-10-450x299.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185940\u002Fmetadata-10-768x511.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s impossible to predict the future, but by looking at ways new programs and systems are changing and interacting, it becomes clear what to expect. For example, if we predict that online stores and sales will increase, metadata’s role will increase as well. And then there are the many companies who operate online systems which house databases accessible to the public. An online e-book platform, for example, would need its own unique metadata properties to succeed. This would be exclusive to their website. Popular sites already employ metadata practices to better understand their users. How this changes in the future will depend on the way the site grows or changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-7--political-aspects-and-legalities\">Political aspects and legalities\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There’s one thing that I haven’t touched on yet that belongs here as well, and that is the legalities, philosophies and rules surrounding metadata and how these should influence its future use. Where this has caused rifts in the past has been in particular as a result of government entities using metadata for their own purposes, such as national security. We cannot predict the future of this specific subject, but it is safe to say that it will grow stronger in the public’s eye as they become more aware of the power of metadata.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185939\u002Fmetadata-11.jpg\" alt=\"A security camera spying on data.\" class=\"wp-image-53354\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185939\u002Fmetadata-11.jpg 600w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185939\u002Fmetadata-11-450x263.jpg 450w\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is because the type of data collection most people will be affected by, at least in their own perception, is any data that is collected about them. The more we shift to using digital services in the future will increase the potential of metadata required for these services to operate optimally. It can be assumed that there will be some sort of breaking point that results in limits, or results in nearly no limits. Whatever ends up happening, expect metadata to be on the forefront of consumers’ minds in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-8--closing-thoughts\">Closing thoughts\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope this information gave you a clearer way of looking at this important technical term.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The world of metadata is complex and continues to evolve. However, your understanding of it can grow alongside it. Now that you have some base principles down, any new areas of metadata that sprout up or change will be easy to identify and adapt to.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly, check out this metadata video for more information:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ccto-video-player vid=\"fZWg0ClQkYQ\" platform=\"youtube\">\u003C\u002Fcto-video-player>",17,{"url":37,"url_md":38,"alt":39,"height":40,"width":41},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185944\u002Fmetadata-1.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19185944\u002Fmetadata-1-450x263.jpg","Data pieces digitally floating.",700,1200,[43],{"id":44,"slug":44,"title":45,"path":46},"photo-management","Photo management","\u002Fpost-category\u002Fphoto-management\u002F",[48,55,62],{"featuredImage":49,"postId":50,"slug":51,"title":52,"description":53,"path":54},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F01\u002F19192846\u002Fconvert-cr2-to-png-3-450x253.jpg",39150,"convert-cr2-to-png","A guide to convert the CR2 image file to the PNG","If you work with a lot of CR2 files, you understand how tough they are to share and edit.
