Yes, I had to do that with my Mac photos also. I get so frustrated when things come up in anything other then jpegs because that is what I want for how I use and share them. If they do something else then I have to annoy my son and ask for his help when he wants to do his own thing. Also, the newest mac version changed how you straighten a photo when editing it and that took me days to find...I liked the intuitive older system. Maybe because "Intuitive older system" would describe me quite well!
