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?

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?

Raw files are just files - but to use them, you may need a particular version of macOS or third-party application.

Photos uses a Raw compatibility library built into macOS. Your signature indicates that you are running 10.11 (El Capitan).

They're just files. If you download them they'll go into the Downloads folder unless you've changed the default location.

Once downloaded you can put them anywhere you want that you have access to.
