P: Please add AVIF file support

It's legit. Stephen is "for real," Senior Director of Product Management for Photoshop at Adobe.

Is this legit?

Is there a website announcement somewhere to verify this?
Will this work with all export dialogs?

Good news! We are making good progress on adding AVIF support to Photoshop, and it will be coming to Photoshop Beta soon.

AVIF is supported via Camera RAW for both export and opening.

Apart from the fact that it's supported in their web content delivery platforms. And I'd never, ever suggest* that they'd withold something in such demand just so it could provide a USP for one of their products!

*Absolutely I would!

As an original adobe supporter from 1990s I look forward to replacing all their software. It's like, you have one job. Let me edit images.

@chrisg81395047@pmphilippsThey don't care about users. they are too busy to making $$$

"Even GIMP is more advanced than Adobe.

In which regards in particular? "

It supports avif files.

Even GIMP is more advanced than Adobe.

In which regards in particular? 

And in which regards is the opposite the case? 

It's incomprehensible. Photoshop should be at the cutting edge instead of lagging behind on this sort of thing. Even GIMP is more advanced than Adobe.
