What does the "J" icon mean in the new Mac Phot...

I recently took a trip to Disney World and wanted to upload some of the photos I took with my camera to the Photos App to be able to access from my devices. I successfully imported them into Photos on my mac, but they all have a small "J" icon in the bottom left corner and they don't seem to be uploading to iCloud. Can anyone shed some light on this? I can't seem to find any info about this online.

MY GUESS is that that J means the photo you see was shot in RAW and has a JPEG copy -as most cameras automatically do-.

I have no idea of how the RAW file can be exported and edited in other third party apps.

I guess Oleguer is right. You can export it: File - Export - Export Unmodified Original.

When your camera takes RAW and JPG at the same time the files are stored together. If the file shown is the JPG it will show the "J", if the file shown is the RAW file it will show an "R".

You can change which picture is displayed by:

1. going to edit tools by pressing enter. 

2. Image > Use RAW as Original

You will see an "R" and this means that the file you are looking at is the RAW file.

Hope this helps.

Jorge SMs answer is correct but perhaps a wee bit confusing.  When you are viewing a picture you will see an "Edit" option on the Photos tool bar.  That is NOT the "Edit" option he refers to when he says:

1. going to edit tools by pressing enter.

2. Image > Use RAW as Original

If you click on that Edit you will not be able to change to "RAW as Original"

The Edit he is referring to is in the top right corner of your picture, visible once you blow it up from the thumbnail size by double clicking on it (or whatever you do on your device to make it "full size".  Once you click on that Edit button you will see several photo editing tools that pop up on the right side of your picture (Enhance, Rotate....Extensions).  Ignore them for now.  Now go back to the top of your laptop screen, above the picture itself, and find the Photos tool bar, and to the right find Images.  Toggle that option and you will see you have an opportunity to "Use RAW as original".  Go ahead and give it a try:  your camera has stored both the RAW and the JPEG versions of the image, so don't be afraid you will screw up your picture.  You may find that the RAW image is different:  maybe even better.  That's because with the RAW format you are getting the whole tamale:  an uncompressed image file that you can then mess around with.  If the JPEG image is fine, and you want to use it because it is easy to upload to social media or whatever, you can toggle back to the JPEG version.  BUT do take a few minutes on the web to look closer at why you should record in RAW and what you can do with that image. 

I read all the replies and they made sense EXCEPT there is no R icon, only J or blank. Thus, what does the blank (or NO icon) mean?
