File => Export => Export Unmodified Original.


You might ask yourself why you're using Photos, a free, consumer app when you all have Lightroom the industry standard for doing the same job. Using both is an unnecessarily complex workflow.

When I choose a RAW photo from PHOTOS and go to export it, is there a button that allows me to export it as an unmodified original? I'll check that out. Also, the above link tells me that it supports my camera which is a Canon 6R. I'm not sure that it actually says anything about PHOTOS. I know that if I start now using Lightroom to catalogue my pictures, I won't have any problem. I was just hoping to be able to edit the RAW photos I already have in PHOTOS with all the info that RAW brings in.
