If you&#8217;re working with a Mac, then opening an ARW file is pretty straightforward. Simply double-clicking on the file or opening it with Preview will allow you to view but not edit the images. Nor does Preview allow you to save them to a different file type or change the file extension.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>You asked, can Lightroom read ARW files? As Digital Nigel posted, the ARW files produced by your RX10IV are (Sony&#8217;s) RAW files and as Digital Shutterbug posted, the latest version of Lightroom will open ARW files &#8211; either in their native format, or by converting them to Adobe&#8217;s own *. dng format.<\/p>\n<p>Also, how do I open an ARW file? You can open ARW files by using Microsoft Windows Photos and Windows Live Photo Gallery. You may need to install a Sony Raw Driver for them to work. For Mac users, Preview allows you to view them. ARW Viewer and Adobe Bridge can also open them.<\/p>\n<p> Best answer for this question, what version of Lightroom supports ARW? The new camera support is also available in Lightroom and Lightroom Classic starting with versions 2.4. 1 and 8.4. 1, respectively. With the updated support, users can edit RAF images from the Fujifilm X-A7, as well as RW2 files from the Lumix DC-S1H and ARW files from the two newly added Sony cameras.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, can you open raw files in Lightroom? Adobe Lightroom is an image file editor, organizer, and publisher. You can import your RAW files right into Lightroom and a photo editing company, like ShootDotEdit, can edit them from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rq7ApZXuvEg\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>How do I convert ARW to JPG?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open Raw.pics.io page in your browser.<\/li>\n<li>Click &#8220;Open files from computer&#8221; button in the center of the screen.<\/li>\n<li>Select arw files you want to convert.<\/li>\n<li>Select files from the bottom film strip and choose &#8220;Save selected&#8221; on the left or &#8220;Save All&#8221; if you want to save all the files.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How do I edit ARW files?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xp3b7fCh1Hk\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Does Lightroom support Sony a7iii RAW files?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>We are happy to announce the release of Lightroom Classic CC 7.3 and have introduced the raw support for the Sony A7 III.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>How can I convert ARW to JPG for free?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Upload arw-file(s) Select files from Computer, Google Drive, Dropbox, URL or by dragging it on the page.<\/li>\n<li>Choose &#8220;to jpg&#8221; Choose jpg or any other format you need as a result (more than 200 formats supported)<\/li>\n<li>Download your jpg.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why won&#8217;t my RAW images open in Lightroom?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Photoshop or Lightroom doesn&#8217;t recognize the raw files.
