I have an xs max, all my iphone photos are taken heif, and every time i export them theyre automatically converted to jpg. Email, text, imessage, whatsapp, this web site… the existence of heif is invisible to me.

I wonder what youre doing differently. Also… photoshop? Wouldnt surprise me at all if adobe found a way to make it difficult. Im using a 5 year old version of capture one and its fine.

I despise mac desktop and laptops but their phones are pretty great (except for itunes.)

Maybe Apples changed it.

When the heif format first was introduced, all my new photos were stored in heif. I had to search on-line to discover how to change the setting to save as jpg again.

Maybe Apple has changed the export function since the first introduction of it.

The love to make it hard. If I plug in my phone and just look at the photo storage like it was a hard drive, there are lots of folders, and finding the last photo taken is a real challenge on a Windows computer.

I came up with a workaround. It's not perfect, but at least the images will send to Android from my iPhone;

I send photos to 'me' at the Signal app., from there I can send those photos to anyone on my iPhone contacts list (so far at least) and Signal is doing something under the hood to allow the files talk to each other.

Yay! :rolleyes:
