Sony Alpha RAW
The raw format powering the mirrorless revolution.
ARW is the raw image format used by Sony's Alpha series cameras (like the A7, A6000, and ZV series) and Cyber-shot RX series. As Sony became the dominant player in the mirrorless camera market, ARW became one of the most common raw formats in the world. ARW files contain the raw data from Sony's Exmor sensors. They are known for their malleability, allowing photographers to push shadows and pull highlights to extreme degrees without the image breaking apart.
ARW files are TIFF-based containers. Sony offers three main compression types: 1. **Uncompressed**: Massive files, but guaranteed maximum data integrity. 2. **Compressed (Lossy)**: The default for years. It uses a delta-compression scheme that can occasionally cause 'star eater' artifacts or posterization around high-contrast edges, but saves 50% space. 3. **Lossless Compressed**: Introduced in newer models (A7 IV, A1) to solve the quality issues of lossy compression without the massive size of uncompressed.
ARW replaced the older SR2 format. It has gone through several iterations (v2.3, v4.0). The format faced controversy in the past due to its lossy compression algorithm, which led Sony to introduce the Uncompressed and later Lossless Compressed options in response to user demand.
Portable Any Map
A super-class extension for the PBM, PGM, and PPM formats.
PNM (Portable Any Map) is not a distinct file format itself but rather a collective name (and file extension) used to handle files that could be any of the specialized Netpbm formats: PBM (Bitmap), PGM (Graymap), or PPM (Pixmap). A file ending in `.pnm` allows a program to implement a single reader that automatically detects the internal format ('P1' through 'P6') and handles it accordingly.
A `.pnm` file is simply a PBM, PGM, or PPM file renamed. The header magic number (e.g., `P6`) determines the actual content. This abstraction simplifies command-line pipelines, allowing users to pipe `image.pnm` without worrying if the image is black-and-white or full color.
Part of the Netpbm project philosophy to create a unified library for handling raster graphics. It simplifies naming conventions for software that can output any of the subtypes.
