    Nope - not unless you give us details

     

    Why can't you import your RAW photos?

     

    Are you using Photos or only LightRoom?  If only LR then when Photos launches uncheck the box to launch Photos when this device is connected and then open Image capture and set the action you want when that device is connected

    The RAW format off your camera has been supported since MacOS X Yosemite.

    Could you ever use your camera with Fotos or is it the first time you try? What exactly happens, when you try to download the Photos? DO you get a warning about incompatible format? Is the Does the Import panel not open?  Does the Import panel open empty?

     

    Are you using a card reader or ar you trying to import from the camera?

    Larry HN thank you very much for your answer! the real problem was trying to download RAW directly from camera wich is very difficult because every file goes to fotos as jpg,i could not see raw anywhere.What i did was take the card to the card reader and that was it! Sorry for all caps,but i was really worry! i won´t use them again!again,thank you very much!

    You're welcome Good to know that using the card reader solved it.

    I don't read this whole thread, because you already know that your raw format is supported. What I want to advise is following: after having imported all raws, let LTR (6 I suppose) convert all the raw files (use DNGconverter) from different cameras to the DNG standard: all the same standard and much less space needed.

    If you are shooting RAW plus JPEG (a detail you did not mention) then Photos stacks them and ot use the RAW you double click to enlarge and click edit then in the image menu click use RAW as original

     

    Which raises the question if you want to use the RAW why waste time and space shooting both RAW and JPEG - why not just shoot the one you want?

     

    And again if you really want to use Lightroom why import to Photos at all - follow my original instructions for setting up to import directly to LR

     

    And of course if you want the RAW you can select the images and export the unmodified original to get it out for use in LR or any other program
