When i import my photos from my camera,in raw+jpeg format in Apple photo, i see only the jpeg file,and the raw file is hidden.How can i see both files? Thank you.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4), middle 2011
Duplicate the photo (command d) and on one double click to enlarge, click edit and then under the image menu select use RAW as original - this will give you both - one with a J and one with a R badge

The function "use raw as original" under the image menu is not available..

All RAW option are only available, if you open the image in Edit mode. Duplicate the photo with ⌘D, then select the duplicate version and hit the return key. Only then go to the Image menu.
For example: You can tell from the badges "J" and "R" which copy is using the jpeg file as the original and which copy is using the raw file.
Ok, got it, thank you for your patience..:)
You're welcome 🙂

If you follow the instructions it will work
You have to be in edit mode
double click to enlarge, click edit and then under the image menu select use RAW as original

I have understood the instructions and made this work. But this is painfully slow working. I shoot in RAW + JPEG and the JPEGs have the on-camera lens correction, etc. applied where as the RAWs obviously don't. They are effectively two different images but Photos decides they are the same and hides one. Under iPhoto I could quickly toggle between JPEG and raw to see what effect the on-camera processing and corrections had. Now I first have to "duplicate" what was already two photos. That makes no sense. Then I will have four photos just so I can compare the uncorrected raw with a processed JPEG.
Does anyone from Apple read these threads. I just don't understand why the software would make it so complicated to view all the photos we upload into it. There must be a way for this to work without such a workaround?

It is not as bad as that. Duplicate will create a new image version but not actually duplicate the the two original files you imported. After "Duplicate" the new version will be linked to the same two original image files you imported and you can delete one of the versions, once you decided which version you want.
No Apple does not read these - this is a user to user forum - to tell Apple things you ned to tell them - http://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html
And no you will not have four photos at all - you will have two photos which is what you choose to have - one the JPEG with a J badge and one the RAW with a R badge - you have two edit trails in the database one editing starting with the RAW and one starting with the JPEG

TThanks for clarifying.
You#re welcome. I actually like, that the RAW and the JPEG originals are stacked and not treated as separate photos. I can make both originals visible by duplicating, if I need to compare them, But by default I I am only seeing one of them and the photos are easier to browse.
Agree the stacking is quite nice but ideally clicking on the R or J (or for example right click menu) should temporarily unstack so they can be visualised without the hassle of duplication and then going into edit mode. Appearing stacked again afterwards would be fine. Interesting to observe that everything imported prior to the Photos upgrade remains unstacked. I haven't found any feature to retrospectively stack the thousands of existing RAW + JPEG separates in the library.
Visualize both files separately with raw+jpeg camera photo format in photo
