Converting ARW to EXR does not create transparency by itself.
Camera raw conversion requires decoding, demosaicing, white balance, tone mapping, and encoder choices.
Converting ARW to EXR decodes the source image and writes a EXR output. Use this route when EXR is a better fit for compatibility, file size, editing, or delivery.
Quality behavior depends on EXR compression: depends.
Choose conversion targets based on EXR compression, transparency, animation, metadata, and compatibility requirements.
Known metadata support: Exif, Sony MakerNotes, XMP sidecars.
