That's interesting, John Rellis. We're supposed to make a note when we move a post, but that appears to have not happened. You were correct to post this to Using the Community.

Good question @John Waller!

@jane-e 

This was originally posted in Using The Community. That's where I posted my replies to this post.

Did someone move it to the Photoshop forum in the meantime?

Hmm, the original post was made in Using The Community, not the Photoshop forum:

The forums should allow HEIC attachments -- it's the most common file...

@johnrellis 

Since your question is not about how to use Photoshop, I have moved it to Using the Community > Ideas. This forum is for issues with the forums in general, instead of a specific application.

Agreed.

Since proprietary Raw file formats (CR2, NEF etc) from major camera makers are permitted, seems that Apple HEIC (proprietary although not Raw) should also be permitted.

Apple's proprietary HEIC image format is unique to iOS11 or higher devices.  HEIC is not compatible with other apps or devices.  This web forum supports standard web file formats  -- jpg, png or gif. 

If you're grabbing screenshots with your iPhone camera,

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Camera > Formats.
3. Select Most Compatible.

Hope that helps.
