P: Support for HEIC file format (Windows)

See list of new features that you've got with your subscription here.

Your comment makes no sense. HEIC support would be for import  - and possibly export.  Adding this does in no way "lower switching cost".

The main barrier for switching would be other products being able to import Lightroom libraries - pictures, organization, edits and all. Lightroom missing the ability to import a format is not relevant - if anything, it makes people consider hard if Adobe really keeps their end of the bargain after going to a subscription only model. As of now, it looks like they only take my money and have stopped supporting the product.

If you want to support this in a forum outside of ADOBE, consider this: https://www.facebook.com/groups/255453151688912/

Licensing no, proprietary format yes: https://www.macworld.co.uk/feature/iphone/what-is-heic-3660408/

It is not in Adobe's interest to use an open format like HEIC as that lowers switching costs when another product becomes available.  I created this to step out of Adobe's forums to get a real sense of how many people are bothered by their lack of HEIC support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/255453151688912/ I hope you will support Adobe Adopting the HEIC format

Sadly, no - it is not in their interest to use an open format like HEIC as that lowers switching costs when another product becomes available.  I created this to step out of Adobe's forums to get a real sense of how many people are bothered by their lack of HEIC support: https://www.facebook.com/groups/255453151688912/ I hope you will support Adobe Adopting the HEIC format

I have a big issue with Adobe controlling these forums and that is they delete posts - so I created this: https://www.facebook.com/groups/255453151688912/ I hope you will support Adobe Adopting the HEIC format

Victoria, I have tried and tried - so today I created this: https://www.facebook.com/groups/255453151688912/ so that people can support the HEIC format which is a standard

Jay, there are better options for support, like this forum and the user to user forum, which are usually faster about providing answers.

I had put off moving from aperture ... then got concerned that something might go awry with that product lacking support.  If you tweet questions to them you get a response ... takes days ... was on hold for 1.5 hours ... awful support
