Photos not syncing or uploading RAW files to iCloud.

Same issue for me, with Canon m50, Raw files import fine, they're not blurred or anything like that, but simply will not sync, raw files taken with my iphone upload no problem, I left it overnight but still nothing, still says syncing 239 item to icloud.

This solution worked for me, as I also had the problem where I was editing raw images before they got all uploaded to the icloud, then they remained stuck in 'unable to upload'. The solution worked immediately for some photos, but not all. For the remaining ones I individually had to open again in the editor, then they finally synced into icloud!

Thanks! This fixed the problem for me, and is the earliest post in the thread that concisely summarizes an easy way to apply the known workaround (select all, auto-enhance, undo). I would recommend other people on this thread that find this work-around helpful mark your post here as 'helpful' instead of only posting "that worked for me!" responses to it, so that others who come along don't have to search for this message.

Note that when I performed this trick, I went to my "Unsynced Photos" group, and did the select-all, since the fifty or so photos here were exactly the ones that exhibited the issue reported in this thread. When I did Image : Auto-Enhance to my group selection, they immediately sync'd to iCloud and therefore disappeared from the "Unsynced Photos" group, before I had a chance to perform the "UNDO" action!

I was then worried that I would have to hunt down the fifty or so photos amongst all the others and select them back into a selection group, so that I could then apply the "un-do auto enhance"... but it turns out just performing an Edit : Undo Auto Enhance did the trick, and saved me the hassle. Just FYI.

Just confirming this issue here with Nikon and Panasonic RAW images: I want to be able to edit them immediately after they are imported on my macBook, even before they are uploaded to iCloud. I'm often shooting on location without internet connection and this completely breaks my workflow. If this behavior is a "feature" as mentioned somewhere in this thread, it is an opaque and counter-productive quirk that I'd like to see removed sooner rather than later.

I’ve been having the same issue. Already posted separately about it. Tried the “auto enhance” work around and that did not work for me (Nikon D5100). But, I did find something interesting in a different post. In Photos, select the library and scroll all the way to the bottom for sync information. My said it was “paused”. Why? Who knows, since everything else syncs flawlessly. I selected the Sync option and voila, RAW photos now available!

Hold down the Option key and go to the  menu and select System Information. In the sidebar on the left go cone to RAW Support an click on it. Then make sure your camera model is supported.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have exactly the same problem with the RAW file with my Sony A7C. Is this a widespread problem? I haven't have this problem before I upgrade to Ventura.

I have the same issue with my MacBook Pro and my (I know it's old) CanonEOS 40D with Raw files that I have edited and it's intermittent. Only happened since I updated to Ventura

Thanks if you hear anything do please let me know and I’ll do the same. I’m not holding my breath!!

Thanks I suppose we just have to keep pressing them?
