jcburns Posted August 19, 2017 Posted August 19, 2017 I can import from photos now images that are in the heif/heic file format, but importing the same image from iCloud doesn’t work; results in this dialog.
TheLivingKing2 Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 I hate that Apple switched to HEVC image equivalent for iOS. Not all apps can open the new image formats. And if sending a HEIC to someone not on iPhone they can not open it. Same on the desktop.
Staff Andrew Tang Posted August 21, 2017 Staff Posted August 21, 2017 We currently only support the HEIC format from the Photo Library.
jcburns Posted August 21, 2017 Author Posted August 21, 2017 Is that because iOS 11 performs a conversion to JPEG for you? Also: I certainly hope Affinity adds support (input AND export) of these files soon because we're starting to have to deal with them, well, everywhere. Muffins and TheLivingKing2 2

HEIF is primarily used internally in Apple Apps.In „foreign relationships“ with other apps you won’t notice anything. MattP 1

New hard and software give new opportunities. see: https://nokiatech.github.io/heif/ AP for iPad 1.6.5.61 on (latest) iOS 11.0.3 on iPad Pro 12,9“ (2015) with Apple Pencil- AD Mac official - AP Mac official eagerly awaiting AD for iPad :-)I
mac_heibu Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 Your link proves – nothing at all. HEIF will be the new intern standard. Ask the iOS beta testers, if their files, send for example from Apple's "Photos" via email, can't be read on the recipient's side. TheLivingKing2 1
jcburns Posted August 22, 2017 Author Posted August 22, 2017 I'm probably making a mistake jumping in to this, BUT...if you have MacOS High Sierra on your machine (now in beta), if someone sends you email with attached from an iOS device as HEIC files, you CAN open them, you CAN quicklook them, you CAN open them in "Photos" or "Preview" on the Mac. But that doesn't work with earlier versions of MacOS. Same deal with HEVC movie files...with the latest (beta) OS, you can work with them just fine. My money is on it becoming an accepted standard, but it'll take some pushing on Apple's part. But I hope they push.
mac_heibu Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Of course this may become a standard. Would be really fine!

Of course you have the ability to export to every format you like. And if you haven’t imported an image as a HEIF image, it will will export in a format, other applications can read. You are using the High Sierra beta, @jcburns. Could you tell us: What happens if you drag an image out of Apple’s „Photos“ to the desktop? What format does it have? I bet JPG.

When I try sending a photo to someone not on iOS 11, they can not view it.

Try version 1.6.5 beta 1 and see if that fixes your issue.

Same on the desktop.you need to convert HEIC to JPG , Take it easy ,The iPhone is closed, and that's one of the reasons why I hate it, maybe only the iPhone supports Heif moed ,It would be impossible to transmit directly since the Android and Widnows or pc don't support Heif moed , they are just support JPG, maybe you need to convert them
