What is Adobe doing to fix this issue. I know Canon has something to do with this but do you guys just not talk to eachother? I usually shoot RAW but when I need to just snap a few shots for work in .jpeg and the files have an extention of .HIF and Lightroom is vertually usless now with Canon's new extention/file format. Now I'm stuck shooting everything in huge RAW files just to make it work.
Adobe - your always slow to the game - I see Affinity in my future.

Switch your R5 to record in JPEG (.jpg) instead of HEIF (.hif):

As for LR supporting Canon .hif (HEIF), please add your constructive opinion to this feature request in the official Adobe feedback forum:

and be sure to click Like and Follow at the bottom of the first post. That will make it a little more likely that Adobe will consider implementing the feature and you'll be notified when they do.

Just a suggestion but it would be nice to have an Adobe newsletter or email for known files issue compatability with Adobe LR & PS. If there is one I wouldn't know where to look. Any plans to support the new .HIF from Canon?

I'm sure Adobe will support this in the future. But Adobe never publically states any future plans.

It took quite a long time (over a year) before Lightroom supported the HEIC files iPhones generate (basically the same file format as .hif, so this might take a while.
