Contenta ARW Viewer

Contenta ARW Viewer is a simple application with a single purpose, namely to provide you with an utility for opening raw photos in ARW format. ARW files are specific to the Sony digital cameras and opening them requires a dedicated application, since not all photo viewers provide support for such file types.
Adopting a forthright approach, this application features an intuitive interface split into two separate, resizable panes, one for exploring the contents of your files and folders and the other for previewing the photo.
It enables you to browse locally stored folders and select the image you want to view. Basically, that is the only 'task' of the user. Alternatively, you can open a ARW photo using the dedicated function in the 'File' menu.
Contenta ARW Viewer comes with zooming options to help you get a closer look at your photo and the graphic details. If you decide to return to the default view, all you have to do is choose the 'Normal Size' option. Larger images can be fit to the window size for optimized viewing.
Aside from viewing the photo, you can also instruct the application to print it using the default printer and get the image on paper.
On an ending note, Contenta ARW Viewer is designed to help you open ARW files and it manages to accomplish its purpose with success, without having you deal with complicated configuration options. However, there are other applications out there that provide support for ARW photos and many more formats. Even so, Contenta ARW Viewer surely comes in handy for owners of a Sony digital camera who want to preview their captures on the computer and since it comes without a price tag, it is worth a try.
