Why convert ARW to HDR?
Because ARW files use lossless RAW compression and 14-bit per channel, they are not ideal for High dynamic range photography. Converting them to HDR (lossless, 32-bit float) solves this. Converting ARW to HDR extracts the small JPEG preview the camera embedded in the RAW file — it does not perform a full RAW decode (demosaicing, white balance, tone mapping) on the sensor data. The result is a quick, preview-quality image; for full-resolution processing, use dedicated RAW software like Adobe Camera Raw or Lightroom. In short, this is less about one format being 'better' and more about matching the tool to the job.
