Per my previous response to BobW, the output raw files from an iPhone driven by the appropriate app (whether Image Capture or another on-camera app) are DNG format and are completely compatible with Lightroom. > On Jul 2, 2018, at 7:18 AM, Eric Weir <eew...@bellsouth.net> wrote: > >> On Jul 1, 2018, at 8:19 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi <godfreydigio...@me.com> wrote: >> >> BTW: iPhoto has been dead and buried for at least four years.

There's another way to do this if you want to use Lightroom on your notebook computer: Connect the iPhone to your computer and then open Lightroom. Click the Import button. The iPhone will display as an input volume in the inputs list on the left. Select it, and then you can do all the usual things you do when importing files with Lightroom. The files will be directed to where you tell Lightroom to put them, you can choose which files to import specifically, etc. > >> 1- Going from any iOS device to any macOS device: simplest is AirDrop. >> Select what photos you want to move, tap the target.

Looking at photos in iOS Photos as a group, tap the Select command, then tap each of the photos you want to transfer. But iOS Photos has limited tools for navigating and selecting, it's true. ... > >> 2- Going from an iOS device to a macOS device with a Lightning to USB cable: >> plug in the iPhone and start Image Capture, select the iPhone.

All the standard macOS conventions for selecting things work in Image Capture: Click the first, Shift-Click the end of a run will select the whole run. Command-Click on files that are not in a run to select them for uploading. You can also set Image Capture into Column View mode (control number 3 in this image: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/845/41352980150_c7013bde57_o.png) and sort by type, by date, etc, by clicking the column headers. You can then use the selection conventions above on the sorted image as well. > This is my solution for now and maybe permanently.

Again, if the goal is to get the photos onto your notebook and into Lightroom, use the iPhone connected to your computer and Lightroom directly to do it. That makes the most sense. As I test (and because I hadn't backed all the photos on my iPhone 8 Plus up recently), I moved them to my Mac mini using Image Capture (4,300 files of JPEGs and movies … 14.5 Gbytes) which took 23 minutes. I did the same thing with Lightroom, which took a similar amount of time and then another increment of time to generate all the previews. The advantage of doing it with Lightroom was that I set the destination to be a sub-directory tree sorted by date, so all files from a given date were grouped together in folders as a starting point, making it a lot easier to find things based on when events happened and the photos were made. I've not used Lightroom Mobile because I have no interest in subscribing to Adobe's cloud services, Lightroom CC, etc. It's probably a good thing and should make the process more seamless and easier to deal with, but it's just not how I want to work at this time, and I don't want to use cloud services of any kind for storing my photos. I only post photos that I have rendered and finished for display to the net, in general.
