Sony ZV-E10 II RAW Files: Open, Cull & Edit .ARW Free

An updated vlogging body with a resolution bump, still aimed primarily at content creators over stills photographers. As with its predecessor, the photo output tends to be a secondary product of a video-first workflow. Occasional stills folders stay small enough that fast, simple sorting is all most owners need.

Editing ZV-E10 II files with imagic

imagic opens .ARW files from the Sony ZV-E10 II natively on Windows and macOS. Point it at a card or shoot folder and it builds previews, scores every frame for sharpness, closed eyes, and composition, and groups near-duplicate bursts — so a full shoot collapses to its keepers before you edit anything.

Processing runs through the bundled RawTherapee engine, entirely on your machine: batch-apply one look across the keepers and export JPEGs in a single pass. Nothing uploads, which matters at about 20-25 MB per frame. The 7-day trial is full-featured and needs no card; licenses are one-time, from €19.
