Hello,
I understand Lightroom can't see into Apple Photos so......
In Photos I have selected optimised storage for photos. That means the iCloud holds the RAW file and a lover version is on the MAC.
So when I want to edit an image in Lightroom, as I understand it you cannot import direct into Lightroom from Photos, so you have to create a copy image File in Finder and then import that file.
My question is... How do you ensure you I am working on a RAW file (that's saved in the icloud) and not from the JPEG held on the MAC hard drive?
I copied an image from Photos into a folder on my hard drive - but I feel its going to be a JPEG file and therefore any adjustments will not have access to the full RAW data?
