I save both jpegs and  raw files on my camera and since changing to lightroom classic cc I  can only see the jpeg in lightroom. I do understand that you should tick the box in the import dialog box to show both side by side but I only want to see the raw file. I cant seem to do that since upgrading. I also can only see the jpeg not the raw file.  Any suggestions appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply and assistance. I have tried that and this is now what I still see -the files show that the Raw and JPEG are still together but when I go to work on them the file is still a jpeg.


    The file on the left is a raw file. The jpeg is only used as a sidecar for your raw file, not for anything else. Why do you think it is a jpeg when you work on it?

    Hi Debod,

    Sorry that you cannot filter your imports in Lightroom Classic CC to show only the Raw images.

    Ideally, as you've mentioned on the General tab of the Preferences dialogue, there's a checkbox "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos". You'll need to tick/un-tick that box to let Lightroom import both the file formats and show them together in library.

    Which exact version of Lightroom Classic CC are you using? Have you tried importing just the Raw files alone with the jpeg's kept in a different location temporarily?

    Thanks,

    Akash

    HI Akash I already have the box " treat JPEGS as separate file" unticked and it is not showing the Raw files at all that is why I am so upset to be honest. It has encouraged me to go look at different software programmes as I feel that my lightroom is a mess now with about 6 months of files sitting there as jpegs and the raws not showing. I think I need to do what ssprengel suggests and tick the box and then synchronise the folder so that the raw files come through.

    Yes that is right but it no longer seems to have the default Fuji one...


    What Fuji camera are you using?

    Shut down LR, Restart your computer and then open and test LR.

    I use both a X-E2 and X-T2 and all profiles for each of those 2 cameras show up.
