Feb 8, 2017 - I'm finding that there are photos EVERYWHERE on these two. You can use either macOS Spotlight or a third-party tool to find all images by file type. Best graphics card 2017 for mac. For iPhoto Library Manager to work with the that older Apple app.).

How to import the RAW files into Photos? Panasonic DMC-LX3. I shoot both RAW and JPG images. IPhoto would import both images for each picture, Photos just imports the JPG. I am NOT using the iCloud photo library.

The picture in Photos has a small shadowed box in left bottom corner with a J in it - almost like there is a hidden file, no idea what the J means, can find no reference in help files or online. I've tried importing direct from the memory card in iMac slot and with camera plugged into USB - no difference. Photos did pull over all the RAW files from the iPhoto library on first startup.

The LX3 is listed as supported by OS X Yosemite V10.10 Maybe the issue is that I could select Adobe Photoshop Elements as the photo editor in iPhoto preferences. Photos does not have this external editor feature.Help! My camera's JPEG processing is almost always better than the default JPEGs created by either Aperture or Photos for OS X. Not to mention the time needed to create them in the applications, which slows down the import process quite a bit. Well that doesn't make sense, as they are created anyway, and if you use in camera editing on the jpeg you actually be generating two sets of previews on import. If the shot doesn't need work I'd like to throw the RAW away and not pay for the storage it uses up (locally and in the cloud). This is easy: File -> New Smart Album Photo -> is -> Raw Find them, and then you can delete the ones you don't want.

The J means that it's a stack and you're looking at the Jpeg version. Not sure why you would shoot both, as importing a raw give you a Jpeg preview anyway.

Often the JPG of the pair can be quite adequate without any need for significant processing, the RAW can then be a fallback should the in-camera exposure/metering used have not provided a satisfactory result. Equally, I believe shooting both offers people who need to do so, the ability to cut initial time expenditure in post-processing say if producing a portfolio of images for a client to narrow down which once selected can be optimised by using the RAW files. Admittedly perhaps the JPG preview files are much better quality than they used to be years ago. Personal choice at the end of the day I guess, but I prefer the more flexible approach shooting RAW/JPG pairs gives me. If I could only shoot one it would be RAW naturally as I'm more likely to be able to salvage a bad shot - Many cameras also give the option to save the pairs at differing resolution.

Thanks to Terence Devlin for describing the meaning of the shadowed J box in bottom LH corner = 'stacked' JPG & RAW images; both are imported. Thanks to Markwmsn for describing how to access the RAW image.

Double click the image, click edit in the picture frame, THEN go to the pull down menu 'Image' to select use RAW as original. Not intuitively obvious. No it's not at all. I've not fiddled much with Photos since the official release and was scratching my head wondering why the 'Use RAW as Original' was greyed out in thumbnail mode. There is a bigger issue - there is no global setting to choose RAW or JPG as the original on import or migration AFAICS.
