Hi NitroOxide,
It sounds like you're having an issue exporting photos. For help with exporting, test the steps below found in the article here: Export photos, videos, slideshows, and memories in Photos on Mac
"You can export photos in the original file format in which they were imported into your Photos library. A Live Photo is exported as two separate files: a still-image file and a video file.
on your Mac, select the photos you want to export.
3. Click the File Name pop-up menu and choose how to name the exported files (this step is optional).
You can name your exported files using the titles you’ve given them in Photos, their filenames, or a filename numbered sequentially. If you choose Sequential, you can specify text to appear before each number (for example, Birthday - 1, Birthday - 2, and so on).
4. Click the Subfolder Format pop-up menu and choose how to divide the exported files into folders.
For example, if you export photos from several different days, you can have Photos export each day as a subfolder named after the day. Choose None to export the photos as individual files without subfolders.
6. Click Export.
7. Choose where to save the exported photo files, then click Export Originals."
You can also find more helpful information here: Use a RAW file as the original in Photos on Mac, and here: How the Photos app and iCloud Photos handle RAW images
Cheers.
Do you want to save the original RAW files or the edited versions? or both?
This is determined by the Export command you are using.
How did you export your photos? Did you copy and paste them, or did you use the "Export" command?
