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

Please add support for HIF/HEIC files from Fujifilm cameras.

That was the answer I gleaned from Canon's discussion site. Sorry it didn't work for you.

That being said, I have since downloaded sample HIF files from both an R5 and an R6, and, although the weren't recognized by Photoshop as HIF, renaming them to HEIF allowed them to open, albeit converted to 8-bit, and not through Camera Raw as they really aren't Raw files anyway. The CR3 raw files provided opened in Camera Raw perfectly of course. 

I'm not on Ventura yet, so maybe it's an OS-specific issue? I was able to open them even in older versions of PS in Monterey.

Anyway, there was also a discussion (sorry I can't find the thread link for this) about Canon being very slow to provide Adobe with specs to their specific "HIF" format, unlike Sony that had provided theirs early on. Apprently it's different enough that it has been an issue (obviously). So who the bad guy is here is not exactly clear.

I'm guessing the 10-bit issue might be a bigger hurdle, since PS doesn't work in it?

Your silence on the subject says nothing good about Adobe, Rikk...

A pointless endeavour, Brad.

On macOS Ventura and latest Photoshop/Camera Rae import of Canon.hif files don't work

@Rikk Flohr: Photography

OK, lets try a different tack.

Rikk, why does LightRoom still not support Canon HIF files?

To me this is crazy. HEIC is so much better I can't believe why Adobe does not want to support it from the cameras we use (let's not count iPhone)

It is September 7, 2022 and Lightroom still does not support HEIF files from Sony cameras. Nor Canons HEIF files. Unbelievable!

What is the status of canon hif files in Lightroom and photoshop? Thx

There is nothing more frustrating that watching this thread. HIF @Rikk Flohr: Photography HIF was clearly the main concern. There is still no correct answer.

Marking this as correct answer is only 1/4 correct and that's giving you credit. Bottom line: you are dumping because you know the real reason this isnt supported.
