Yoink for Mac drastically improves and simplifies drag and drop on the Mac.
Version 3.7.5 now makes it ridiculously easy to pull in original RAW files, burst photos, Live photo videos, and more from Photos app photos and videos.

What is Yoink?
Yoink is a temporary place for your file drags. Whether you want to collect images from a website, text snippets from a document, or move files around in Finder, Yoink offers a “shelf” you can place them in so you can move freely to the files’ actual destination. It can hold virtually anything you can drag and appears whenever you start to drag something. It’s also highly customizable to fit your needs. It also comes with a clipboard history, easily accessible from widgets, or the “shelf” itself.

What’s New in Yoink v3.7.5?
- Effortlessly load original RAW files, images from bursts, videos from live photos and unedited originals for photos you dragged to Yoink from the Photos app (macOS 13+ required)
- When dragging photos and videos from Photos to Yoink and then onwards to other apps (for instance, iMovie or Final Cut Pro), the original cinematic, slow-mo and time-lapse properties are now preserved, allowing full editing, instead of being handed just the final render from Photos (macOS 13+ required)
- A couple of bug fixes

Why This Matters
Photos can make it quite a bit frustrating to get to original files of your photos and videos, with multiple dialogs involved.
With these new features in Yoink, loading in RAW files, unedited originals, all images in a burst, and live photo videos is just a right-click away.
For photographers, video editors, and content creators who frequently move assets out of Photos, this can significantly reduce the number of steps required, and saves a bunch of time.
Probably the first app I install on any Mac I use.
