Canon CR2 Metadata on Mac
CR2 remains widely used in Canon archives. RAW sidecars and catalogs depend on accurate camera and lens metadata.
Apps are available exclusively on the Mac App Store.
Reading CR2 on the Mac helps you verify capture settings before conversion or long-term DNG migration. Batch export supports studio QC and insurance-style asset lists.
Keep RAW originals local; use App Store apps that respect professional desktop workflows.
