Probably not the correct way to do it, but it worked and it was easy. I opened PS, then clicked Open file. Once there it gave me ALL my photos including RAW nicely organized in their folders by date. Then I just did a quick drag and drop of each folder to the external. So easy and done in less than 10 minutes. Now I can start doing things the right way and bid farewell to the evil Photos app 

It is evil The raw is in there somewhere hidden. I've found it before to transfer, but it was a pain in the butt and I can't remember how I found it. If I open from ACR or photoshop all my raw photos are there neatly in folders by date, I just can't seem to find the same folders on the Mac hard drive. 

Can I ask a dumb question. I'm trying to disable the photo app, but am having a hard time transferring my files to an external. Is there an easy way to access my photo folders that are organized by date and not the jumbled mess that Iphoto has created? I've done it once before and can't seem to get to it again.
