Implemented

Sony's "RAW" format for pixel shift images is a new format with the ARQ extension. It is supported by Adobe and I believe there is an open-source library for reading them as well (?).

Judging by Adobe's support of the format, its closer to TIFF than RAW as Lightroom does not give color profile options like it normally would with RAW but I don't know if this is a limitation of Lightroom or of the ARQ format.

  I would appreciate this feature too. Its frustrating to have to use different software to develop Sony pixel shift files.

  Same thing here:

  I would appreciate the ability to use ARQ files directly in Capture One, but for slightly different reasons.

  I am perfectly content to use a third party application to convert ARQ files into a more flexible format like DNG. However performance on some of these larger DNG files (240MP in the case of the Sony A7R4) throttles performance in C1 down to nearly unusable levels for some operations. I only could compare DNG and Tiff versions of the same file, which evidently don't contain the same information, but the Tiff was substantially faster than the DNG at that resolution. I have also noticed that performance is a lot better with Sony's ARW files when compared to DNG, so the hope is that it would be similar with ARQ.

  Alternatively it would be great to see performance on DNG raw files improve, since at the moment it's on the slow side, but that might be the subject of another thread.

  Thanks for your attention, always appreciated. I am brand new to C1, but have to admit that I love it.
