Hey /p/, I bought a used camera yesterday and took a couple of pictures today. When I come home to edit them, I realize that the pictures are 16 mbs in size, and they come in a CR2 format? Is there any way I can change the size of the pictures and change the format, if not, is it something that has to do with the camera itself?
help?????

Could you truly not have used google for this?
>>2724941
suppose I could. can you answer my question?
this thread fucking sucks
>>2724946
The answer is literally yes to everything you asked.
You can change the size and the format and yes it has something to do with the camera.

as opposed to figuratively yes?
>>2724921
No you cannot change the size or format of the pictures, that is set by the camera manufacturer.

In case you are not a troll, don't listen to >>2725008
You can set all those things in camera, you can also export your RAW files (.CR2 in your case) into JPEGs in camera.
I'd recommend though to stay with shooting RAW and get a RAW converter like Lightroom and learn to bring out the most of your shots.

The shitposting is phenomenal. I'm not a photographer of any sorts, but I picked up on image size from photoshop. The answer is yes you can (which you probably already knew), raw (CR2) files carry the most information so they're huge and as >>2725069 said, its best to keep your camera settings in raw, because that way if you want to edit the file at all it provides the most flexibility. You can definitely toggle the camera options so that it converts all the photos you take to jpeg. Changing image size and file type on a pc can be done with lots of programs but basically you should know what you plan to do with your photos. e.g. if you're printing them then perhaps the best idea is not to reduce their size and consider adjusting the ppi between 200-300 if you're desperately looking to reduce size.

Literally yes.
Way to go turds!

change RAW to any other one
Probably large/fine, should be around 5MB per pic
Download Irfanview at www.irfanview.com It's free, comes in 32 & 64 bit versions for windows. Resizes, crops and a whole lot more. Works with a shit-load of graphics formats and converts from one to another
