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 CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support) Type 1 Image file format, developed by the United States Department of Defense in the mid-1980s, is a standard for storing raster (bit-mapped) image data, typically black-and-white. It ensures efficient data interchange and retention of orientation metadata. The format supports both uncompressed and compressed (using CCITT Group 4 compression) images. This standard was part of the broader CALS initiative aimed at improving electronic publishing and data management within the federal government.
