How do you export original files from Photos?

I tried out the Photos app again - following thread suggesting that this app would import filtered photos from an iPhone. It doesn't, it suffers the same issue as iPhoto. So, I'd like to copy my photo out of Photos and back into a more functional library. How does one do this. Worryingly, when you do Apple/Shift/E for export, there are only options for compressed modified files, not originals.

it pays to not mess up menu items that gave worked fine for over 20 years abd are now inexplicably changed.

?????


Strange that a program only 15 years old has a 20 year history (and of course the "feature" you are concerned with was first introduced long after the initial program introduction - about 8 years ago in 2008 I believe )


a bit of a daft statement if there ever was one


have a nice day
