CR2 to JXL: what to expect from the conversion

CR2 files hold unprocessed sensor data, so white balance and exposure are still adjustable. Converting to JXL bakes those decisions into the pixels, and highlight recovery is no longer available afterwards. Set white balance and exposure before the run rather than after.
