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 PBM (Portable Bitmap) file extension, part of the Netpbm project, originated in the late 1980s to facilitate efficient and portable graphics file interchange. Primarily, PBM files are used to store monochrome bitmaps in a simple ASCII text format, ensuring easy compatibility across different systems and platforms. This format supports only black-and-white imagery, making it particularly useful in scenarios where simplicity and minimalism are prioritized, such as in Unix environments for bitmap manipulation and transfer. Its historical significance lies in promoting a standardized approach to bitmap graphics in early computer technology.
