ARW to DNG Conversion: FAQ
What are ARW files?
ARW is the proprietary format used by Sony cameras to create and store RAW image files — uncompressed images which can be later on adjusted using image editing software. RAW images are popular among photographers because they allow an advanced degree of customization during digital post-processing. However, ARW files, like most RAW images, tend to be very large in size, which makes them difficult to store and transfer.
What are DNG files?
DNG (Digital Negative) is an archival RAW format associated with Adobe Photoshop. The main aim of creating this format was to establish a standardized archival format that is publicly available and widely accessible, and help professional photographers avoid the hassle of constantly converting between the different RAW formats associated with different camera brands. The DNG extension is supported by several types of software manufacturers, including Apple and Google, as well as by a wide array of camera brands, such as Casio, Samsung, Pentax, Ricoh etc.
