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.

PCX

The PCX file format is a raster graphic image format popular in the 1980s and 1990s, predominantly used for bitmap images. Known for its simplicity and ease of use, it supports indexed color and is commonly utilized in various scanning and graphic applications. While less common today, PCX files can still be accessed and converted using multiple graphic software tools, making them valuable for retro computing and digital preservation.
