Why Convert ARW to BMP?

Converting ARW (Sony RAW) to BMP provides high-quality, uncompressed images suitable for professional applications and Windows environments. While ARW offers the highest image fidelity for editing, BMP maintains excellent quality without compression artifacts, making it ideal for archival purposes, print preparation, and applications where maximum image quality is essential without the need for specialized RAW processing software.
