P: Please stack RAW+JPEG files

Contrary to Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC doesn't automatically stack the two photos of a RAW+JPEG pair together. This creates quite a bit of clutter. Could you please implement this feature? Thank you.

Can somebody please follow up on this issue?  Either enable users to import JPEG/RAW only, or at least enable filter by file-type so it can be easier to delete all JPEGs post-import.

I have to shoot RAW+JPEG because of WiFi/Smart device transfer requirements for JPEG files, but any time that I actually want to interact with photos in LR, it's almost always RAW.

In Lightroom Classic, the JPEGS were/are hidden as RAW + JPEG pairs.

Jon, were the JPEGs showing in Lightroom? Or hidden as raw+jpeg pairs? The former sounds buggy, the latter less so (but an excellent point for documentation!)

Just a note, if you migrate your Classic Library, it will only import the RAW files (I learned this only after the import happened). At least that is how it is handling it now.

I'm about to make the jump from Lightroom Classic CC to Lightroom CC. Having over 200,000, many of which I started shooting with JPG + RAW (+ once accidentally), this would be a nightmare to organize manually. Please add stacking RAW + JPG please!

Hey Joel, been there, done that. First of all, it’s essential that you download all the photos in your Photos library to your local drive and that you turn your iCloud Photo Library off once completed. This is the only way to make sure that you have all the originals as Photos might store your originals in the cloud otherwise (i.e. if you have the “optimize storage” option turned on). Also make sure that all the photos taken with iOS devices are uploaded to the iCloud Photo Library and then downloaded to your local hard drive.

Once you’re sure that you have all your original files in your Photos library, you should right-click on the Apple Photo Library and choose “show package contents” from the dialogue. You’ll then see a “Masters” folder in the finder. That’s the one you want to import to Lightroom as it should contain all your original photos (raw AND jpeg).

I am just about to switch over from Apple Photos to Adobe Lightroom CC but I can't figure out a way to migrate my photo catalog that both includes RAW and JPEGs. The past few months I have shot in both formats, but previously I have only used JPEG, meaning that I can't just exclude all JPEGs from the import either...

I didn't realize the new Lightroom doesn't do this, and now I have tens of thousands of "duplicates" in my library from our month-long vacation with no easy way to even filter them, nevermind stack them
