Leonide Principe Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Is it time to add HEIC to the workflow? I already use the AP1, but in Publisher I am in v2. Is it AP2 ready to save HEIC files, that can be imported in Publisher? I tried the AP2 2 months ago but I was not in this perspective not yet. I would like to know more about, before purchasing the license. Thanks for helping, Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David in Яuislip Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Affinity Photo & Publisher V1 can open HEIC files eg If you need to manipulate the image in Photo for use in Publisher there are several suitable formats, I don't see the advantage of saving as HEIC, so it's a 'No' from me sample from https://github.com/tigranbs/test-heic-images Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonide Principe Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hi, the vantages that I see in HEIC is the small size and the quality of compression and no less important the non-destructive option. I have not tested all that, not yet. I just figure out if HEIC is mature to support a workflow. For exemple, if output a pdf with HEIC, if I send HEIC's to print... I am attracted to the vantages of HEIC, but I dont know if at a given moment the workflow can be compromised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David in Яuislip Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 That particular image is 2.85MB as a heic, 3.7MB as a 90% jpeg. There's a saving but so what ? I don't know if pdf's can include heic images, if you generate a pdf from Affinity then the image is embedded as jfif eg %PDF-1.7 %����7 0 obj<</Subtype/Image/Width 1440/Height 960/BitsPerComponent 8/ColorSpace/DeviceRGB/Filter/DCTDecode/Length 8 0 R>>stream����JFIF so we're back to jpeg Handling new image formats is a moving target, I think Serif ought to concentrate on formats that can be used in browsers so avif would get my vote Actually, I think Serif ought to concentrate on making guide colours changeable but maybe that's just me Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
