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.
PCXOUT
PCX is a DOS era format, originally the native file of PC Paintbrush, and for years it was how images moved between early PC programs. It uses run length encoding, supports palettes up to 24 bit color, and is simple enough that a decoder fits in a page of code. Nothing new is written in PCX today. You run into it in old archives, scanner utilities and retro computing projects.
