Convert RAW photos to JPEG on a MAC in minutes....so simple I cried laughing!

Legend, I've been pulling my hair out with this. Thank you so much!!!

You should learn how to mix the sound on your videos and, maybe, puy a microphone...

You are BRILLIANT!!!!! You solved my problem while I was on hold with Apple waiting for them to answer!! Thank you so much!!! Oh, did I say, YOU ARE BRILLIANT!!! And, THANK YOU!!!!! YOU SAVED ME HOURS OF WORK!

Thank you! This worked for me too!

Sadly support for reading Canon .cr2 files is non existent this technique does not work for them anymore. If you know of any way to read .cr2 RAW files I have a large number archived that are now useless.

turn your intro down bud

Excellent!

Tremendously helpful thanks

Absolute life saver for my final in one of my classes

Nobel prize award goes to you! T H A N K Y O U

You may be maked so muh photographers's lives so simple bro, I'm so gratefull

thanks! it worked for me too :)

Mind-blowing. Thanks for this

This didnt work for me so i opened folder right clicked then send to and clicked iphone

Thanks for uploading this tutorial, friend. I followed your directions and found that I’ve been converting these damn RAW’s into JPEG’s for months and didn’t even know I WAS DOING SO! All this raised blood pressure for a solved problem I didn’t know was already solved. It’s always nice to have confirmation, though, from a second source that I haven’t bungled anything up. 👍

Confirmed, currently using a macbook pro early 2017 model and it worked for me! Thanks for this!

You just changed my life!!

Actually it worked but photos are really low quality, what can I do?

Lol. this is not helpful. You can clearly see your raw photos for some reason before dragging it to the folder. I did the same minutes ago before this video and still remained CR2 and unseeable. I cant even see the pictures at all previous to dragging or after, but you can.

Unbelievable - as easy as that... I just spent the last 2 hours downloading plug-ins for RAW converters trying to navigate a new model camera with an older version of photoshop. Thank you for sharing:)

wonderfull solution! thank you

Awesome, thank you. You did safe me a lot of time.

Good but reduces the resolution drastically. ;(

Why do a video if you don't even know why it converted it to JPEG?

Thank you. MAC photo App automatically imports both .jpeg and .nef (raw) photos from your camera stacked up with the initial (J) bottom left or top left depending on your MAC Photos App.

By default, the computer treats all your photos as .jpeg. The user has to edit the photo and click (choose photos in its original format) to get the raw .nef files (pictures) for advance editing.

So, your steps (to clarify your confusion) were automatically done for you by the system. However for advance photo adjustments refer back to the step in the previous paragraph.

Thank you for showing us this. It took me some time to go back and do some research and find the reason why. Thank you!

Brilliant. Thank you! It worked for me on macOS Mojave 10.14.5. I did move them from my SD card to my computer first and then to the folder from Photos. I'm not sure if it works from the SD card to the folder on macOS Mojave yet, though.

THANK. YOU.

HAHA! YES! it works, and we don't have to care why!

Omg ! I love you I just did a maternity shoot and for the life of me could not figure this out ! Thank you 😊

The key step here is to make sure you Import the photos. May have seemed obvious to some, but it took me a few moments. Import to new album > drag to folder. Bingo

earth needs more heroes like you

Thanks John for your sharing. This is what I did.
- Import images to Photo app
- Create new folder
- Copy images in Photo app to new folder
Done. Amazing

Worst video ever watched

This is not a good idea. You're throwing away tons of useful image thereby making an inferior quality image. Just shoot jepg!

Boss, you saved my day!!! thank you sooo very much. I was able to convert all the image from RAW to JPG just the way you showed :)

legend

This is wonderful, so easy, thank you for sharing

I think it might have to do with where you store an image.
When I store in the PICTURES file it uses .tiff
Try storing in DOCUMENTS.

very helpful! it worked perfectly! thank you so much

Very helpful! Thanks a lot! :)

My new MAC will not recognize my Canon EOS M6 for RAW.
