FAQ
CRW to SHP Conversion
What are CRW files?
The CRW format is used for creating and storing RAW images using some Canon cameras. RAW images are often favoured by photographers because when shooting in RAW mode the lens captures images that are as close as they can get to what you see with your naked eye. Moreover, they can be strongly edited using digital post-processing and allow a high degree of control for the photographer in what concerns aspects such as color, saturation and filters. However, RAW files can be up to 6 times bigger than JPEG files, thus being difficult to transfer and store.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
