Hi! I have a Canon EOS R6. I shoot in RAW (only, no jpeg). When I plug my SD reader/SD Card into my MacBook Air and open the photos app, it shows that the images are RAW. But when I drag them to a folder in my external hard drive, it shows up as a jpeg on my hard drive. I didn’t catch this before I edited photos and have sent off 3 galleries. I edit my photos in light room classic. Will my clients have a hard time blowing up photos? Do I need to completely re edit all of the photos? I’m panicking!
Solved! Go to Solution.

“ I opened the photos app in my MacBook to import the photos. Maybe I need to use a different app to import them to? “
The act of importing the images into the Photos app is probably the entire problem. You should copy the files from the memory card to your external drive.

thank you so much for responding and taking the time to offer advice!
I finally found the problem!
I shoot in RAW only. When I was importing to my MacBook, I was doing so in the apple photos app, which seemed to be changing them to JPEGS. However, when I opened them in the finder app in my laptop and transferred to my external hard drive from there, they stayed as CR3 files! Hooray!
