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

@Rikk this is not a feature request this is a vary common file type in all new canon cameras and I looks like based on comments Sony as well. It’s not like we are are asking for an obscure camera’s file type to be supports it’s Canon and Sony for crying out loud. The two biggest camera manufacturers!

I would highly recommend hitting the upvote button on the top post (Left side). This feature request only has two votes in three months. 

Just as an FYI - and as told in many other threads. ETAs and Updates are not given until a feature is released. 

@michael_karchner unfortunately even if I knew, I wouldn't be able to say until they announced support sorry

@Victoria_Bampton_Lightroom_Queen Have you hear any word on Adobe supporting Canon's HIF files?  Ill we hear from adobe is crickets!

@Rick Its been 3 months any update?

@Rikk its been 3 months any update?

There is nothing I can do with the .hif files from Sony a7siii. This is pathetic. 

I support the above requesters: I'm working with a Canon R5 camera as well and would like to use HEIF files in combination with Lightroom Classic. There are thousands of photographers out there waiting for a solution for this from Adobe. 

I might say that we are paying enough for your software to expect some decent support in this.

You know, Rikk, this question about Canon .hif file format support by Adobe has been doing laps for months now, in various forums. I could understand if this was some obscure new camera manufacturer that had just come out on the market with some new format, that Adobe would need to be deciding on whether to commit resources to deal with it. But, this is Canon. What we need to hear from Adobe is whether and or when we can expect to see support for .hif files. BTW, there's been a suggestion that we can use Canon's DPP to convert a .hif to .tiff. I tried it and it works just fine. The trouble is that it converted my EOS R6 .hif into a 110 MB file; since R6 RAW files are only about 20 MB each, this conversion before importing to Lightroom or Photoshop makes no sense.

@Rick Any update for us?
