Convert ARW to CUR

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 CUR file extension, short for Cursor Image, is a format used in Microsoft Windows for cursor icons. Its primary use is to display and manage custom cursor images, enhancing user interaction with graphical user interfaces. CUR files, a variant of ICO files, were introduced in early versions of Windows to enable animated and static cursor designs, elevating visual and functional user experiences. The structure typically contains image data, including multiple resolutions and color depths, which ensures adaptability across various display settings in Windows environments.
