ARW

ARW files are raw image formats specific to Sony Alpha digital cameras, capturing unprocessed images for maximum editing flexibility. These files retain high-quality image data, making them ideal for professional photographers seeking optimal detail and color accuracy. ARW files require specialized software for editing, offering extensive control over exposure, white balance, and other parameters in post-processing.

FITS

FITS is a digital file format designed for the storage and transmission of scientific data, particularly in astronomy. Optimized for large datasets, it efficiently handles multi-dimensional arrays and metadata, making it indispensable for image and data analysis in telescopes and space missions. Its extensibility ensures compatibility across various platforms and software, securing its place as a vital tool in scientific research.
