Benfischer Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 If I shoot a Photo on my iPhone in HEIC format, after that photo is synced to my Mac, I can open it directly from Affinity Photo in the Media section of the Open File dialog, but it imports as JPEG instead of HEIC. If I instead use the Place option to import the photo directly from the Media portion of the dialog, it comes in as TIFF. But if I export from Photos as HEIC, I can open the resulting HEIC image fine. I don't know if this is an Apple thing or an Affinity thing, but is there a way to directly import the original HEIC image file? Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Apple Photo restricts the resolution and formats, mostly downgrades them when using drag and drop to other apps, or any of the "open in" functions. This is a Apple thing. To get full resolution on original formats, you may need to use "export" first. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/photos/pht6e157c5f/mac Benfischer 1 Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.
