Kellie W Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Hi Brian, I bought an iphone13 because it shoots raw to try to eliminate carrying a phone and a pocket camera in my daily life. What is the best way to download the raw photos to my iMac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Well, the iPhone 13 can take Raw Photos, but you must set it up first. It doesn't take Apple ProRAW photos automatically. Have you set this up? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211965 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Now, Apple does not make this easy. They really want you to use their iCloud Service or if you have a Mac, use AirDrop. Your phone isn't like a true camera; meaning you have to think differently. Honestly, the best way that I've found is to purchase EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. I will warn you though, while the trial is free, if you want to use this program long-term, you are going to pay for it. Like $180 pay for it. Otherwise you are forking out $100 a year. Here are some instructions. You are looking for "Phone to Computer." Before buying anything, download the free trial and see if you can transfer a photo or two. Here are some instructions.

Kellie W Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 Yes I had the camera set up for Raw as per apple support above. I will check out the options you listed. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Apple wants you in their whole Ecosystem. Using iCloud, their Photos App, the whole sha-bang. As soon as you start thinking like a Photographer, who just wants the Raw files to be edited in Photoshop / ACR...things get tricky; ahem...just a royal pain-in-the-ass to accomplish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
