About formats

ARW (Alpha RAW) is Sony's proprietary RAW image format used across the Alpha mirrorless and DSLR camera lineup, introduced in 2006 with the Alpha DSLR-A100. Built on a TIFF-like container structure, ARW stores the unprocessed readout from Sony's Exmor and Exmor R/RS CMOS sensors at 12 or 14 bits per pixel, retaining the complete dynamic range and color information before any in-camera processing is applied. The format includes detailed metadata — AF point data, lens distortion profiles, face detection results, and real-time tracking information from newer bodies — enabling RAW processors to replicate or refine the camera's processing decisions after the fact. ARW has evolved through several revisions: ARW 1.0 used simple per-row compression, ARW 2.0 introduced a more efficient delta encoding scheme, and ARW 4.0 added lossless compression support. One advantage is the exceptional latitude for exposure correction: Sony's sensor technology captures 14+ stops of dynamic range in many bodies, and the uncompressed ARW data preserves this range fully, allowing photographers to recover shadow detail or pull back highlights well beyond what JPEG permits. The format's integration with Sony's ecosystem is another practical strength — Creative Styles, Picture Profiles, and in-camera lens corrections are stored as metadata tags rather than baked into the data, giving photographers complete flexibility during post-processing. ARW files are supported by Adobe Lightroom, Capture One, DxO PhotoLab, and Sony's own Imaging Edge software suite.
Developer: Sony
Initial release: 2006
EPUB (Electronic Publication) is an open ebook standard originally developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) and now maintained by the W3C following the organizations' merger in 2017. The first version carrying the EPUB name was approved in October 2007 as a successor to the Open eBook Publication Structure (OEBPS). An EPUB file is essentially a ZIP archive containing XHTML or HTML5 content documents, CSS stylesheets, images, fonts, and metadata organized according to the Open Packaging Format and Open Container Format specifications. The current major version, EPUB 3, supports reflowable and fixed-layout content, embedded multimedia, JavaScript interactivity, MathML equations, and rich accessibility features including semantic markup and media overlays for synchronized text and audio. A defining advantage is universal device support — unlike proprietary formats, EPUB works natively on virtually every non-Kindle e-reader, tablet, and reading application, from Apple Books and Google Play Books to Kobo and dozens of third-party apps. The reflowable text model is another core strength, automatically adapting pagination, font size, and margins to match any screen dimension and user preference. EPUB's open specification and active W3C stewardship ensure long-term preservation and vendor independence, making it the de facto standard for digital publishing across libraries, academic institutions, and commercial retailers worldwide.
