The ARW file extension stands for Sony Alpha Raw, a raw image file format used by Sony's Alpha series digital cameras. ARW files contain uncompressed, minimally processed data directly from the camera's sensor, allowing photographers to achieve higher-quality images and more precise edits. Introduced with Sony's Alpha DSLR series, this format is based on the TIFF specification and requires specialized software, such as Adobe Photoshop or Sony's Imaging Edge, for viewing and editing.
The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) file extension is widely utilized in the field of astronomy for storing, transmitting, and manipulating scientific data and images. Originating in the late 1970s, FITS was developed by NASA and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to standardize the format for astronomical data. Its primary use is to archive astronomical images, spectral data, and other multidimensional data arrays, enabling efficient data interchange among scientists and astronomers. FITS files are known for their ability to store metadata and large datasets, making them essential for detailed scientific analysis and long-term preservation in research environments.
