Why Convert CR2 to CMYK file?

CR2 is the RAW photo format used by Canon cameras, while CMYK is the ink-based color model used for professional printing. Converting CR2 to CMYK prepares your Canon photo for print, translating its colors into the ink-based space so a commercial printer reproduces them more accurately.

This is aimed at print workflows rather than everyday use. Screens display color in RGB, but printing relies on CMYK inks, so a CMYK version gives the print process the color information it needs. Keep your CR2 as the master for editing, since it holds the full sensor data, and use a CMYK conversion when a professional print job specifically calls for it.
