P: HEIC Support

It's not that I can't convert them to jpeg, I want a seamless workflow that won't consume more storage and get potentially lower quality between conversion.

On Windows!!!

Come on, Adobe....we need HEIC support, please!!! 

Freakin Adobe, again. Still no support of HEIC in Photoshop 2 years down the line (Windows). What the hell is wrong with you Adobe?!?! Over-priced and still fighting Apple. Grow up people and get professional.

As far as I'm aware, jpeg does not support additional data like HEIC does. I can't comment on the other available conversion formats that can be used in this script. Another good reason to have a back up of the HEIC format before running this automation. It is very useful when you want to quickly export your images into other software that does not support HEIC like MS Office and older versions of photoshop.

Does this keep the depth mask channel, though?

Hi Folks, 
This issue drove me mad for a while, but if you are using a Mac then there is a very simple automator code that will give right click single and batch conversions for all your HEIC files to Jpeg or another format (albeit limited) of your choosing. The exact layout of automator will depend on your OSX version so there may be a couple of variations as detailed below. 

1. Open Automator App
2. In “Choose a type for your document” select “Service” or "Quick Action" then click the "choose" button
3. In the top bar “Service receive selected” or "workflow receives current" choose “Images” or "image files"
4. Click on "Photos" in the far left library pane and drag "change type of images" from the middle pane to the main workflow build area to the right. 
5. In the pop-up warning select “don’t add”
6. Choose desired format in this example it is JPEG
7. Save or export it to your desktop as something like "HEIC to JPEG"
8. Find it on your desktop, Double click for install 
9. open the folder with your HEIC files in, select one or all of them and then right click, select services at the bottom and then select "HEIC to JPEG"
10. WARNING - this automation script will replace your existing HEIC files with JPEG, so if you want to keep your original HEIC files make sure to save a backup first

The problem for me is that Photoshop does not support HEIC in its Windows version. And most solutions offered here suggest converting to JPG. But I actually want to be able to export to HEIC from Photoshop, including a depth map. And I cannot do this.

Photoshop supports HEIC sind CC 2018 came out in Oct 2017. I even can use its depth-map in Camera Raw.

Can someone elaborate what exactly the problem might be?

very hate adobe. High price but support very low. Android and other support HEIC but photoshop still no support. bad bad
