What is a ARW file?
ARW file is associated with Sony Alpha Raw image file or ArtStudio project file. As ARW is based on TIFF format as a raw image format that collects all information from the Sony camera sensor, these files are enormous and impossible to send or share before compression to a more usable image format. Even though ARW is acting as a digital negative, there is a way to manipulate it before compression. To open the ARW file, you can use programs such as Microsoft Windows Photos and Windows Live Photo Gallery on Windows OS or Preview for Mac OS. However, you’ll be required to install the Sony Raw Driver to be able to use these programs.
What is a XCF file?
XCF or eXperimental Computing Facility is an image format developed by GIMP, an open-source image editor. Because of frequent format revisions, XCF is not recommended as a data-interchange format. XCF format supports layers, channels, transparency, and even paths and guides. However, XCF doesn’t support the undo option for saving history. The compression used for this format is with the RLE algorithm. To open and edit XCF format with other applications rather than GIMP is limited and challenging but not impossible. Image editors such as XnView, Inkscape, IrfanView, Paint.NET, DBGallery, etc., offer partial viewing and modifying of XCF files.
