Question

When I bulk export in JPG, some of the pictures export in original (RAW).

I import my photos into Lightroom Classic in RAW. My export settings say JPEG, yet recently I noticed when I export multiple, some of them stay in RAW. The end of the file says .jpg, but the file itself is RAW. I did this multiple times, and different pictures would be in RAW, so I know it’s not related to the specific file. In this case, I exported 20 photos and 2-4 were in RAW. I tried exporting 200 photos, and 8 were in RAW.

Screenshot of export settings attached. (Note: When I unchecked Resize to Fit, 15 out of 200 exported in RAW.)

    Please provide some more details.
    What makes you think that some of the exported files are raw files?
    Are these files 2400 pixels on the long side, or do they have the same pixel dimensions as the original?
