MEB - many thanks, this has solved my problem I am new to Mac OS, still much to learn. Apologies for the late response, life issues .. Thank-you !

Many thanks for this information. Currently at work, will try your procedure later and re-post. Thanks to all, couldn't get this from the Affinity Manual !

Exactly so; the opened file now has a " . jpeg " extension, IMG_000.JPG(62.3%) Am I misinterpreting this information ?

Ok, will try cloud transfer and report back.

Attach iphone via Ligtning / USB cable. Import images to Photos app on macbook. All the images revealed the file extension ".tif" when accessing the file information field once transferred.

I think that ProRaw is specific to the iphone 12 (?) It doesn't seem to be available on the iphone 11 series. Unfortunately Apple likes to do your thinking for you, and I find it hard as a newbie with AF on a Macbook to do as I wish. Please ask any question you please ! I feel that I may be misding something very basic here.

On my iphone 11 Pro, I have set the preferences to save images as .tiff files.

Via the photos app on the Macbook

Yes; .tif files taken from ProCamera on an iphone 11. The files display as .tif file extension in the Macbook photos app. Only the .tif files from ProCamera were transferred to the Macbook; the Macbook photos app preferences were changed to transfer original files, not smaller jpegs.

Hi, Sorry if this is a dumb question - opening a 19.7 MB .tif image in Aff Photo displays - apparenly - as a 10MB .jpeg, as seen in the file information bar. I have set my system preferences in the Apple Photos app to import as original files. What am I missing ? many thanks.
