Apple photos-RAW files

[HugoBertrand]

Hello all. I haven't found my answer on the web so I'll try here and see if anyone knows.

I imported a bunch of RAW files in my photo library and I would like to export them as RAW to edit them in my photo edit app.
Apple photos do not let you export them as RAW. Is there a reason? How can I find the original file in finder?
Thanks

Choose File>Export>Export Unmodified original... to export the raw files.

You may also like to explore editing directly from the Photos app. Select photo, Control-click and choose Edit With. I say "explore" because you will need to establish a workflow to get the edited photo back into Photos - with many photo editors saves go back automatically to Photos, others not.

Thank you for your inputs! Funny @chrfr that I havent seen this before.
All is resolved then.
Thanks a ton!

But if I have photo taken both in Raw and in Jpeg and I do this, it will edit the raw picture and not the jpg one? (I know about right clicking on the picture, and selecting "use RAW as original", this should do the work then, no?)

I expect so. You need to experiment using your preferred photo software. I know I have got confused when I have both Raw and Jpeg, but I expect you will get there.
