Cross-family format translation: how CANON-RAW becomes SVG
The CANON-RAW source is interpreted as Canon camera raw captures spanning CRW, CR2, and CR3 generations rather than one interchangeable encoding, then rebuilt for SVG as XML vector artwork made from paths, shapes, paint, text, and optional embedded assets. Renaming the file suffix alone could never accomplish that translation.

What the CANON-RAW source carries and the SVG output demands
What can fail when CANON-RAW specialized file format is interpreted
Model generation determines the decoder, Picture Style metadata, and lens information that can be interpreted.
What Scalable Vector Graphics cannot safely promise
Tracing a bitmap produces approximate paths rather than restoring original geometry; fonts and filters may render differently.
How the SVG writer handles this route
Because CANON-RAW is already vector data, the SVG writer translates its paths and shapes directly rather than tracing pixels, labeled as image/svg+xml.
The delivery decision for this CANON-RAW to SVG route
SVG is the right pick once the next application explicitly lists it as accepted and its resolution-independent illustrations role suits the job better than CANON-RAW does.
What changes between the CANON-RAW model and the SVG deliverable
- SVG supports alpha transparency that CANON-RAW never had, so any transparent areas in the result are newly created, not carried over from the source.
- SVG expects scalable path data that a raster CANON-RAW source never recorded; any vector shapes in the result are traced approximations, not recovered geometry.
- SVG supports an editable object model CANON-RAW never had, so structure in the result is newly assigned by the writer, not carried over from the source.
- CANON-RAW and SVG use different metadata conventions, so application-specific fields should be treated as optional until verified.
