Seeing both RAW and Jpeg in LR classic

[Randy Hufford]

WHen shooting both a JPEG and RAW in Camera, How do you see both the JPEG and RAW image in Lightroom? How can you put the RAW in a Different folder?

Set LR's preferences , general, Treat JPEGs next to raw files as separate photos.

Both files will then be imported. You can use the Library Filter to filter by file type.

If you want them in a different folder, select the photos and then right click in Folders panel and create a new folder, checking "Include selected photos".

I did tick that box "Treat JPEGs next to RAW as separate photos", but I'm still only seeing the RAF file in Lightroom CC

@Steven36127395vbc4  Confirm that you are using Lightroom-CLASSIC.

For photos that have already Imported (and you see only the RAW) you can show the JPGs in the catalog by-

1) Change the Preferences as suggested by @john beardsworth 

2) Select the folder of RAW photos and [Synchronize] the folder- this will Import the JPGs as separate photos in the library with the RAW files.

That checkbox option does not affect already-imported photos - it only affects how the Catalog will treat your future imports that include Raw+JPG pairs.

I would just comment that separating Raw and JPG images into separate folders is not necessary since LrC can easily filter its view to show only JPGs, only Raws, or both - even if both kinds exist in a single folder. A complication arises if you ever wanted to hide the JPGs which belong to Raw+JPG, while still wanting to see JPGs shot as JPG-only.

I avoid this conundrum, by having the camera either shoot Raw (only) or shoot JPG (only). As a positive choice.
