Does Lightroom support the new HEIC format that Apple is using?

[andrew_is_a_person]

And if it does, what versions support it?

Hi All,

We are happy to announce the release of Lightroom Classic CC 7.4.

This update includes the support for HEIF image files on macOS High Sierra v10.13 or later.

Here's a list of what's new in this release: New features summary for the October 2017 and later releases of Lightroom Classic CC

Let us know if the update resolves the problem for those affected and share your feedback with us.

Regards,

I am running LR classic at 7.5 Release and my Mac is using OS X El Capitain version 10.11.6. Lightroom is not able to open HEIC files. I know that High Sierra is mentioned but I believe that El Capitain is a higher version than that. Is there something I am missing or not doing right? Thank you!

This is not correct. If you were to look at the version number of El Capitan (which is 10.11), you could see it is not as recent an operating as 10.13

The issue isn't resolved.  I'm using Mac Catalina and version 9.3 of Lightroom Classic and still get an error message that the files can't be edited.   What is the point of a photo-editing software that can't edit photos????
