Downloading RAW Photos

I used to have an app, Image capture, to download Raw photos to my MAC. I no longer have it and Apple's photo app is very inefficient. Is there a better way to download RAW photos?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.3

Separating JPEG + raw in photos on iPad I have different types of photo formats in my library. I have jpeg photos, raw photos, and combined jpeg+raw photos. If I use the photos app on my iPad I can not extract or download the raw file from a jpeg+raw photo. On the photos application on my Mac it is possible to extract to extract or download only the raw part so I can use it in a raw editor (Adobe LR, Affinity Photo) The only way I can download the raw part of the jpeg+raw photo is to go via the icloud.com website and download via “More Download options…” , and download unmodified Originals and get the raw part from the downloaded zip file. This is cumbersome to do. Do I miss something in the Photo’s app on the iPad to make this more streamlined? Or is this a feature that will be added in a future version of the Photos app for iOS?

Image Capture is part of the system and is located either in the Applications folder or the Application/Utility folder. Do a Spotlight search for it.
