Why convert ARW to HEIF?
Think of HEIF as the format ARW files graduate to once they need Apple devices — efficient storage. Converting ARW to HEIF 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. It's a minor step in your workflow with a noticeably smoother outcome.
