The RAW format for this camera is not on the list of supported RAW formats.

See: Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 12 and macOS Mojave - Apple Support

To use them Photos for Mac use the software that came with your camera to develop the RAW files and save them in another lossless format, for example TIFF. Then use the TIFF files in Photos.


If the free Adobe DNG converter supports your camera, you could convert the RAW files to DNG. That will give a better compression: https://supportdownloads.adobe.com/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Macintosh


On the Adobe RAW page I am seeing the Stylus Tough TG-5 as supported, if that is your camera. https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

Ok, thank you!

it is so sad to see how apple is going backward.

I mean...I left windows because the entire system (hardware and software) apple was useful without using third part app.

Now I have a computer full of apps when in the past it was only sufficient to connect a device to see and work with it.

Now every one has to check compatibility before to update the computer and before to buy a new device.

HORRIBLE by apple

tks again fro your help

Ok,

believe me or not: I had no problem since last 2 years.

I use Raw format since at least 8 years. Never had to use different software...

Now I've lost the scanner/printer management so I have to use a third part software, I have to use another software other than Photo that I always have used.

I will continue to update my software until I'll become tired of apple. Then I'll return to windows...

sorry, but the TG-5 is on the market since 1 year and it's strange that apple did not update this kind of file ( if they will...update!)

however, many thanks for your help

Thank you so much for your reply!

I Appreciate it.

The problem that apple is no more all inclusive of drivers, file reading and managing remains unsolved, at the moment.

It's true, I'm normally Canon user so never had a problem in the past. But also I have a Samsung multi function printer that now I can only use with a special software...

I hope IPhoto could read shortly Olympus Raw file so I can only work with one software.
