P: Support additional flavors (non iOS) of HEIC, HIF, HEVC for Import

@Rikk Any update for us?

Yes, agree with the other requestors,

we need to have Adobe to recognize and read the Canon R5 Heif ! 

Thanks to get this going and adapted fast in Adobe Lr.

A lot of people have the problem. Even cameralabs.

I sent .hif files from my Canon R6 to Akash Scharma in September.

Hope this get solved soon.

Would like to know the outcome of this as well.  

@Rikk Any update on this issue?

Any feedback from the engineers?

The new version of Photoshop V22.1.0 promises support for HEIC files but I still can't open the Canon HIF files produced by the R5 and R6. I believe these are HEIC format but they won't open even after installing Windows 10 HEIC and HEVC extensions or renaming the file to .HEIC. Only the Canon DPP app opens them at present. There was also a Canon firmware update that promised improved compatability but this makes no difference. Is it a Canon or Adobe problem?

Thanks for sharing the file, Micheal. I also was unable to import it into Lightroom. It would open in Apple Preview and I saved a copy as a .heic but that did not import into Lightroom either. I also tried manually renaming the file as a .HEIF but that also would not import.

I have shared the file with our engineers and your feature request that it be supported. Any updates will be posted to this thread.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
