I'm trying to keep my Photos app synced with my Aperture libraries. Basically I open the album in Aperture, select all and drag them into a new Photos album. This works, sort of, but all my RAW images show as JPGs. Going to Edit in Photos shows the "Use RAW as original" is grayed out.
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2), 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
When you drag from Aperture's Browser window you just add the JPEG previews to Photos, not the originals.
If you want to transfer the originals plus the edits to Photos, create an album from the photos you want to move to Photos and export this album as a new library. Then open this library in Photos and you will have the RAW files and the edits and all tags. But to merge the two libraries you would have to merge the libraries in iCloud. Opening libraries in turn as iCloud Photo lIbrary will merge the libraries in iCloud.
Ok, thanks for your help and patience, Léonie.
you're welcome 🙂
A note for other users, one can drag the edited RAW images shown in the PowerPhotos library and drop them into the target Photos library, they will however be converted to tiffs.
they will however be converted to tiffs.
And you cannot revert the edits to the original.
Drag RAW results in JPG.
