Can’t open RAW files in Photos

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?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

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.
