below thanks for leaving a like as well
we really do appreciate it and please do
watch this video right into the ends of
the full steps and let's go and get
straight into this video so here we are
on my mac and on my desktop i've got
this raw file which i want to go and
open up and as you can see if i go and
double click on it just like this it
says there is no application to go and
open up this document therefore i can't
go and open up this raw file and go and
access the stuff inside of it so let's
go and get around this so all you need
to do is go and open up your app store
so you want to click on the magnifying
glass and go and search for app store
alternatively it may be in your dock as
well however mine isn't it's going to
open up the app store just like so and
here we are then what you want to do is
come to the top left and go and click on
search and all you need to do is go and
um download an app called the un archive
but do keep watching i'm showing you how
to use it as there is some setup for it
so we want to do is search for the
unarchiver just like so i personally use
this one here it's completely free um so
i've already downloaded it which is why
i've got this cloud icon but yours will
probably look something like get um
because you haven't downloaded it before
so click on download and it's going to
start downloading it shouldn't take very
long it's only a small download and you
may be asked to go and enter your
password for your apple id and then the
download will commence as you can see
it's nearly already finished it doesn't
take long at all and then once it's
finished it's going to go and say open
so what you want to do is go and click
on open just like so and here we are now
what you want to do is go and check out
these preferences so i'll just close off
of the app store and what's really
important is that raw archive is
selected if it isn't it's not going to
be able to open these types of files up
so make sure it's selected and there we
go then all you want to do is come and
close off of this and then all you want
to do is go to your raw file and tap on
it once and then go and right click or
click with two fingers to go and get
this menu here and you want to click on
open with and then all you want to do is
make sure the un archiver is here and
you want to go and tap on it just like
this and then it's going to go and open
it up as you can see it's just
processing it boom you can then go and
choose where you want it to be extracted
to i'm going to click extract here and
then it's going to go and create a brand
new folder and then when i go and look
at my desktop i've got this photo called
images which was in the raw file i
placed it in there and it's got some
images in for um a video i was making
and there we go guys it is that easy if
