RW2 (RAW) to DDS Converter

RW2 is a RAW image format used by such Panasonic cameras as LX5 and LX7. Although, photos stored in the format cannot be printed right away, they are perfect for professional photographers because they are stored without pre-processing, which allows customizing the image settings in a video editor according to your needs. However, not many programs can open RW2 so the best way is to convert it to a more popular image format.

This is the format that is used in the OpenGL and Microsoft DirectX development environment. It is used to store bitmap images of user interface environments and textures. It allows you to store information in compressed and uncompressed forms. It is used for texturing game models and storing entire textural arrays to create games and 3D-software applications. DDS is used to develop the latest-generation video game consoles. It makes it possible to compress texture blocks 'on the fly', which increases performance when you run the application.
