Photoshop does not support HEIC images that are created using the new iOS?? I'm sure Apple didn't keep it a secret. Sounds like another pissing match between Adobe and Apple. Grow up and act like adults and support HEIC.

For those who need to handle HEICs on Windows, here is a workaround:
If you already have a license of Affinity Photo, it already supports HEIC even on Windows.
If you don't have Affinity Photo, use GIMP instead.

They can open HEIC while Photoshop CC 2020 can't.

P.S. If you need to open multiple frames in HEIC, use GIMP. It shows corrupted thumbnail but once you open it works like charm.

I must say I forgot it has been 2 years and so now I am a little irritated. Yes yes I have seen so many people say it is Apples fault for NOT staying current YET the new format is progressive and better than JPG. Haters got to hate but misdirected to the wrong culprit. ADOBE failure to launch is mysterious. Is it a licensing thing??? Hmmm like Spiderman and MCU sharing comes to mine.. lol

It’s incredible, they can randomly shut down Business Catalyst and Muse affecting thousands of agencies and customers, purposely avoid cooperating with major technology innovators like Apple and still get away with it. And they control and dominate the industry.

How we hate to love em and love to hate em.

Andy, thanks for your tutorial.
But this NOT solve the problem, because this solution run only in MAC mojave and above... windows users can't read this image photo format. You know HEIC format it's better than jpg, low capacity in Megabytes an advanced characteristics and quality in the HEIC format...

This solution don't explain that Adobe do NOT support HEIC images, don't read... millions of users has an Apple iPhone or iPad an his photos can't be used in Adobe Apps, because Adove DON'T solve this, they don't like this photo format... and his users need Adobe run HEIC format, because they PAY for this... Adobe don't explain nothing about this... 

Adobe will one day wake up and wonder ... where are my users? Who ate my cheese?

Or is ADOBE behind.. I think you will find apple have been  up front and windows supports it. As for your claim.. I use both platforms every day and we all still prefer the Mac BUT we can do just as much work on either machine. At the present I have been stuck on PC and my workflow is.... exactly the same.. I think you need to keep up like Adobe  even WINDOWS have been all over it and it is an apple initiative... but that not my problem, I only care about getting the work done and like I said, no issues on either platform in over 5 years.
