[Can Affinity convert sony ARW files to JPEG?]

Sony has a proprietary .arw file struture for RAW images.

 

Can Affinity Photo 1.5 open these files and then - if necessary - convert them to JPEG?

[Leaving Aperture 3.6 for Affinity - what about file management?]

I recently completed a trip and shot hundreds of RAW images on a Sony DSC-RX10M3.  My OS is 10.11.6  I was preparing to process the images on Aperture when a friend introduced me to Aperture.

I do not see any information about how to manage each image once I have completed any adjustments.  What do you suggest?  

Right now I drag my images, which are organized into projects in Aperture, into SmugMug for sharing.  Please help me see how I will use Affinity if I purchase your software - to organize and export.
