How do I send ProRaw from my iPhone to my Mac?

[sk3pt1c]

I have 14.3 and 11.1, Airdrop sends a ****** small JPEG, I don't get it.

Going to Options and selecting All Photos Data and Individual Photo instead of Automatic changes nothing.

And Photos exports a tiny jpeg too.

What am I missing?

Share ProRAW photos​

Here are the best ways to share your ProRAW photos:

• Use iCloud Photos to access the original ProRAW file in full resolution on all of your devices.
• To transfer the original ProRAW file from your iPhone to another iPhone, iPad, or your Mac, use AirDrop. If you edited the photo in the Photos app and then you share it, you'll share a JPG file. To share the original ProRAW file from the Photos app on your iPhone, tap Share, tap Duplicate, tap Edit, tap Revert, then share the photo using AirDrop.
• To share an edited ProRAW photo with someone else, edit the photo in the Photos app on your iPhone, then AirDrop, email, or send with Messages. A JPG file that includes your edits is shared.
• To email a ProRAW photo, create an email in the Mail app on your iPhone, then add the photo to the email. The Mail app automatically converts the ProRAW file to a smaller JPG file, which you can then send with email.
• If you edit a ProRAW photo and want to share both the original ProRAW file and the edited JPG file, use Image Capture on Mac or the Windows Photos app on a PC to import the files.
• If you’ve edited a ProRAW photo in the Photos app on your Mac, and you want to use your Mac to share the original ProRAW file only, select the photo in the Photos app, then choose File > Export > Export Unmodified Original.

To follow up on the above (excellent) post, most ProRAW photos are 24-40 MB. You don’t want (or won’t be able to) email these. Hence the other methods.

Airdrop doesn’t work for me, it just sends a jpeg, like I said.
I want to send the raw file to my mac to edit it with Affinity Photo.

Do you not have iCloud photo storage set up? Mine just appeared in my camera roll.

won't it just appear in your photos?

Hey, I have the same problem. Have you solved it yet?

For those having issues wish I had a fix. I have run into issues getting RAW photos from my iphone to my MB and set this up before ProRAW came out on the 12. I do not use iCloud photos.

I have a wifi linked SSD I dump my photos to. I also use a dongle/mSD card to download from my iphone and directly upload to my IPP or MB. Both require a bit more work than Airdrop however it does work and provides me with an onsite backup of my shots.

Hey, Did you choose 16:9? I just find it fixed when I switched the scale to 4:3 !!!!

Had similar problem today sending .dng files from iPhone 7 on iOS 14.5.1 to 3 different Macs with recent MacOS version (10.14.x, 11.15.2).

Using the 3rd party camera app to perform the Airdrop transfer of some DNG files strangely created results with dates between the real date and today's date.

But when I connected to a Mac with USB-Lightning cable and used "Image Capture", the dates were preserved correctly. (I selected images, then dragged them to my chosen destination folder.)

Photo Dates shown in iOS Photos app: July 28
Dates if sent by the 3rd party Camera app: July 31
Dates if sent by Airdrop from iOS Photos app: Today
(note that the internal file dates were also changed.)
Dates if downloaded from iCloud photos section: Today
(Also converted to Jpeg files. Those had file extension ".JPEG" rather than ".jpg")
Dates if transferred by Image Capture: July 28

The change did not happen if the images were JPEG or HIEC. It only happened to raw DNG files, both those transferred as DNG and those converted to JPEG.

First make sure you are capturing RAW, default is off.

Then use AirDrop but do this. Open the photos app, select the video for the list, tap AirDrop, SELECT OPTIONS right above the photo, TURN ON 'ALL PHOTO DATA'. New steps are in caps....



Hopefully that helps.

If you have made any adjustments to the photo you are trying to transfer using AirDrop, you have to reverse those. When you choose to transfer an adjusted/edited photo, it will be transferred as a JPEG. Without those adjustments, you are able to transfer the DNG file using AirDrop.
