Tips and Best Practices

Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.

Prepare RW2 for Export

  • Embed or apply XMP sidecar adjustments so white balance and exposure are rendered into the exported TIFF pixels
  • Convert camera-specific color modes (e.g., Panasonic Vivid) to a standard profile before export to avoid color shifts
  • Demosaic at 16-bit output when possible to retain sensor highlight recovery for TIFF archival
  • Remove or consolidate burst metadata in RW2 batches to prevent inconsistent timestamps in exported TIFFs
  • Verify lens corrections applied in sidecar are baked into pixels if you require corrected TIFFs for publishing

TIFF Export & Storage

  • Choose LZW or ZIP compression to reduce TIFF size without losing pixel data important for print workflows
  • Store original RW2 files alongside TIFF archives to retain lossless raw source for future reprocessing
  • When disk space is constrained, export 8-bit baseline TIFFs for downstream publishing while keeping 16-bit masters
  • Tag TIFF files with IPTC or XMP after conversion to maintain editorial metadata for CMS ingestion
  • Use consistent naming conventions linking RW2 originals to TIFF outputs to simplify asset management

Verify Post-Conversion

  • Open resulting TIFF in Photoshop to confirm bit depth and check for clipped highlights relative to RW2 raw histogram
  • Inspect exported EXIF and GPS tags because some RW2 proprietary fields may be stripped or normalized
  • Compare color rendering by viewing TIFF with intended ICC profile applied to ensure visual parity
  • Zoom to 100% to verify sharpening and demosaic artifacts have not introduced moiré in fine patterns
  • Test TIFF import into your CMS or DAM to confirm file size and metadata compatibility before bulk publishing

Workflow Performance & Privacy

  • Process RW2 batches in groups of 20–50 to balance memory use and throughput during browser-based conversion
  • Keep originals local; the converter processes files in memory to minimize external uploads for privacy
  • Free system RAM by closing other image-editing applications to speed demosaic and TIFF encoding
  • If you need server-side ingestion, pre-convert RW2 to TIFF locally to reduce server CPU load and incompatibility
  • Download converted TIFFs immediately and archive RW2 originals in a secure backup for auditability

Fast Processing

Close unused tabs for maximum throughput.

Client-Side Privacy

No media leaves your device.

Broad Compatibility

Output files work across all operating systems.

Pro Tip

For batch conversions, process in groups of 20-50 files to optimize memory usage and avoid browser slowdowns.
