When will Photoshop Elements 2019 support HEIC?

Question

I recently installed Photoshop and Premier Elements 2019 on Win10 and was surprised to find that PSE 2019 doesn't support HEIC.  Im able to open HEIC and edit files with other apps on this workstation, so my OS supports HEIC.  I've read that pretty soon Android will be using this by default.  When will PSE 2019 support HEIC files?

Hi jsfamSorry to hear of your disappointment. I think at present HEIC files are only supported on Mac OS. Of course the photos can be transferred from iPhones to Windows although they will be in jpeg format. I’m sure support will come, but I’m sorry I don’t have any timescale. Adobe recently added support for subscribers to Lightroom on Windows including HEIC files with depth map information captured with the iPhone 7+ 8+ and later. If you wish, you can express your views at the feedback forum where the Adobe Engineers will see them as this is a user to user forum.https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/pse-2019-and-heif-hevc-not-supported-in-windows-someday
