I have upgraded from IPhoto to the new photos. I tend to take photographs in RAW and JPEG but having uploaded them to my Mac I can only see the JPEG files. Please can someone advise me how to both see the RAW files and export them to Photoshop Elements for editing, as before?
Thank you

It's cumbersome unless someone has found a better way.
The RAW/JPG pairs are 'stacked' and by default JPG is selected with a small J on the thumbnail.
To use the RAW you need to double click the photo and then choose edit in top right once in fullscreen mode, next you go to the Image menu and select Use Raw as Original.
You would then need to use File>Export>Export Unmodified Photo to save the photo somewhere and next open or import that to Photoshop.
(You can also drag and drop a thumbnail to export but you need to hold alt down to export the original JPG or RAW depending on which you've chosen to edit).
Sadly there seems to be no easy way to change the 'edited' file from JPG to RAW for several/a selection of images.

Thank you for this information. I am now able to select the Raw files as described but still struggling to export to Elements. Holding alt whilst clicking and dragging
is not working and when I tried to export the RAW file, I lost it!! I will keep trying
Interestingly I just tried and it wouldn'tlet me drag and drop either - there is a popup Window which actually pops under Photos saying I do not have premission to do so!
Need to investigate further.
Can you check with a JPG of the pair to see if that will work?
Are you getting a popup/popunder error box?
I could export images the other day, not now. This is bizarre.
See below.
Scrub that - my error - I thought I was trying to copy into my User home folder, but it was actually a system folder.
Okay, so I followed the instructions to make the RAW file the dominant one, and I held down alt and dragged the photo to the desktop and it exported both RAW and JPG. Thank you! No pop-ups for me, it worked straight away doing it both from the thumbnail and from the expanded image. Is there a way of setting this as a preference so we don't have to do this to every photo - it will get really annoying when I import a thousand holiday snaps!! Also, can we delete just the JPEG half of the pair?

1 - why are you shooting JPEG plus RAW if you only want RAW - shoot only RAW
2 - the easy to find either the JPEGs or the RAW images is a smart album - Photo is JPEG or Photo is RAW - you can delete or export from that smart album using the export command

Thank you - quite right about shooting in RAW only - i think it was a quirk of my delightful old Sony that i didn't have a choice, but i do on my new one so i've changed that. Now i just need to work out how to make smart albums 🙂
File menu ==> new smart album - criteria - Photo is RAW [or JPEG]

I just discovered that if you drag a photo from Apple Photos to your desktop (and it's Raw) then you drag it from your desktop to the Photoshop Elements 9 icon on the toolbar and it will open in PSE 9!
How do you extract for windows? And how do you take "shoot" raw photos from iPad. Please help me as I am stuck on this for many days.
THank you.
that has nothing to do with this thread please start a new one with your specific details - and an iPad has no capability to shoot RAW so you need to fully explain in your new thread

I take photos in RAW JPEG. How can I export the RAW file from the new Photos to Photoshop Elements? Thank you
