Both formats, briefly
ARWIN
ARW is the raw file from Sony Alpha and Cyber-shot cameras. It keeps the full sensor output, typically 12 or 14 bits per channel against the 8 bits a JPG gives you, and that headroom is what lets you lift shadows or rescue highlights afterwards without banding. Sony's own software and the main raw editors open ARW. Ordinary viewers, phones and upload forms often do not, which is the point at which you need a converted copy.
BMPOUT
BMP writes pixels to disk almost exactly as they are, with no compression to undo. Files get large quickly, which is why you rarely meet one on a web page, but nothing is approximated and any Windows program can read it. It shows up in older Windows software, in scanner and screen capture output, and wherever a tool wants raw pixel data with no decoding step. Convert to PNG to keep the same quality in a fraction of the space.
