Reading ARW on the Mac helps verify shutter, ISO, lens, Sony MakerNotes, and rights fields before editorial delivery.
Batch export keeps freelancers and in-house editors aligned on the same tag inventories. When lens names look odd after conversion, compare MakerNotes on the original ARW with the derivative. For catalog ratings and keywords in companion .xmp files, see the XMP Sidecar topic.
