Both formats, briefly
CR2IN
CR2 is the raw file a Canon camera writes: sensor readings, plus the shooting settings stored as notes instead of baked into the picture. Nothing has been demosaiced or contrast adjusted yet, so you can reset white balance, pull back a blown sky and grade color later without the damage those edits cause in a JPG. The costs are size and compatibility. CR2 files are heavy, and many programs and upload forms will not read them, so photographers export a JPG or TIFF copy for everyone else.
JP2OUT
JP2 is the JPEG 2000 container, and it works on wavelets rather than the small blocks of ordinary JPEG. It compresses either lossily or losslessly, blurs rather than blocks as quality drops, and can be decoded progressively or only for the region you asked for. Those properties made it standard in digital cinema packages, medical imaging systems, and satellite and mapping data. Browsers largely skipped it, so files usually need converting for general use.
