What is a Sony RAW (ARW) file?

Sony RAW (ARW) is the raw file format produced by Sony Alpha cameras, from the entry-level bodies to the full-frame a7 and a1 series. Based on the TIFF/EP structure, an ARW holds the complete sensor readout together with the lens, ISO, and exposure metadata recorded at capture. Nothing is baked in, so white balance, highlight recovery, and colour can all be reworked later without degrading the image.

How to open a Sony RAW file?

Sony’s Imaging Edge Desktop renders ARW files exactly as the camera intended, including Sony’s Creative Look profiles.

Most photographers prefer Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw, while RawTherapee and darktable offer the same capability. Very new camera models may need a software update before their ARW files are recognised. To share an image quickly, use our ARW to JPG converter.

What is a BMP (Bitmap) file?

Bitmap (BMP) is a pixel-based file format that stores two-dimensional images, generally without any compression. BMP utilizes a dot matrix data structure called raster graphics, which establishes the color depth of the image. BMP is mostly used for digital publishing of photographs. However, due to the lack of compression, BMP files are usually large.

How to open a BMP file?

BMP can be device-dependent or independent. BMP opens readily in the Microsoft Paint application and is often associated with Microsoft operating systems. Despite the association with Microsoft, a device-independent BMP, or DIB, can open on almost any device, operating system, or application.

In addition to opening BMP files, many applications can be used to create them, such as Adobe Illustrator. Should you need to convert the BMP into a vector-based image, then consider using CorelDRAW. Other applications that can open BMP files include Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Photos, Apple Preview, Apple Photos, and ColorStrokes.
