Locked Re: Heic photo files #photos

 

Both Windows 11 and Adobe now recognize and process HEIC/HEIF files. The reason for adoption is that it's small, fast and accurate.? FireFox doesn't understand it, so if you use a URL to access HEIC/HEIF files, FF will ask you where to save it.? Also, while Adobe understands how to READ such files, it either won't or can't save in that format.? My wife's been an iPhone use for many years, but only when she got an iPhone 11s did her pictures begin to be stored as HEIC/HEIF.

Re size, I have a JPG file that's about 9MB, while the image it was converted from is only 3MB.? To my eye they look identical.? Also, while JPG is a lossy format, that isn't true for HEIC/HEIF files.

FireFox, Adobe and Windows 11 also understand the relatively new format used in WEBP files.? That's more protection than anything else, but now that Adobe can read and write them, that's mostly irrelevant.

Metta,
Ivan

I find it discouraging that 11 years after the HEIF/HEIC format standard was published, and 7 years after Apple was the first to adopt it, that many websites still aren't capable?of rendering it. All newer photo management and editing apps support it, including Windows 11, so there's no excuse anymore.

One of my members uploaded some photos to her album that have the .heic extension. I could not see those photos at the group website...only a blank screen. I was assuming that IO Groups could only handle jpeg photos, but she told me she could see those photos in her album. I am using Windows 11 and MS Edge. So, is it my computer??
