ARW to PGM 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 PGM files?
The PGM or Portable Graymap format is part of a package of open source graphics programs called Netpbm. Other Netpbm formats include PPM (Portable Pixmap) and PBM (Portable Bitmap), also known under the collective name of PNM (Portable Anymap). A PGM file includes a grayscale image, can work on a UNIX platform, as well as on Windows or Mac OS X, and can render a scope of up to 255 grayscale colors.
