I have tried opening RAW files on their own, as well as switching RAW and jpeg masters in Photos. The dialogue box appears but it refuses to switch, even after many minutes. None of the solutions i have tried will work (using uncompressed files, etc. ) Suggestions?

Apple does not make camera RAW support for newer cameras retroactive to prior operating systems. You may find that Adobe and the Affinity product line may offer camera RAW support for newer cameras that Apple does not.

Is the camera that is the source of these RAW images shown in Catalina's (your profile) camera RAW support?
Yes, it is. The odd thing is I can open RAW files in Photoshop Elements. Also, I can download these files to Photos, but when I import them they go blank.
If you are stuck on an older system version, you could also try to convert the RAW files to DNG with the free Adobe DNG Converter. Then you will still have RAW files, but can use them in Photos.
