ARW (Sony Raw) support?

I haven’t seen this discussed anywhere. Is it possible to add sony ARW format support?

Sony has some amazing cameras now, and the camera that I use the most for scanning is a Sony - not being able to directly use the raw is a real nuisance.

Hi breravin
We support all RAW formats which you can install Windows drivers for you camera for ( or look for the Windows camera pack for your Windows version or get this: http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/ )

I just realized this was only a matter of needing the proper drivers on my PC - not anything to do with Reality Capture.

In case this comes up for anyone else, Sony window raw drivers can be found here:

One quick question though - it does not seem to see the exif data of the ARW files. Do you know if something special is needed for that case?

It can be that the RAW driver does not export the EXIF data properly. The question is why are you not using RAW development workflow ? Because with a good one you can get the most out of your RAW files…

That’s actually what I was attempting to do - work with the raw directly. But when I loaded the ARW files into RC, I get the yellow warning symbol (with the exclamation mark) complaining about missing exif data.

Maybe that doesn’t matter?

Hi breravin

Can you send me few RAWs for inspection ?

Yes, how should I send them?

Hi breravin
Upload them to some online service ( dropbox, Gdrive or so ) and send me the link with the description…

I sent you a link a few days ago via PM, just FYI. No rush!
