A .arw extension file is a Sony RAW Image file that is similar to other RAW files like SR2 and SRF formats captured by Sony cameras. It is based on the TIF file type and is in a raw form. It is important to check the provided photo editing software information as different Sony camera models are known to store raw images in different formats even though the .arw file extension is used to store the image.
A .ras extension file is a binary raster image format file that was developed using the UNIX platform by Sun Microsystems. It uses the bitmap format that is simple to use and has the ability to store data in grayscale, black and white as well as colored pixels. The basic layout of a .ras file begins with a header, is followed by a color map and finally by the image data that is bitmapped.

ARW image file captured by a camera is in a raw condition and needs to be processed to meet the required specifications before converting to a TIFF or JPEG format. The image can be received either from the image sensor of a digital camera, an image scanner or a motion picture film scanner. There may be a requirement to install the Sony RAW Driver to view the .arw extension files in any of the built-in image viewers that may be compatible to view files in this format.
The .ras file extension format extends support to 1, 8, 24 and 32 bits per pixel with easy compression and decompression of the images done with the help of the RLE compression technique which is compatible with other imaging programs. Transparency is not supported in this format. The MIME commands used for this application are image/cmu-master or application/x-cmu-raster.
