    Other [POLL] HEIF v JPG - What is your default iPhone picture format & why?

    I'm taking a fresh look, as I prepare to transition to an iPhone 15 Pro Max; do most people accept the default HEIF? HEIF (High Efficiency) vs JPG (Most Compatible) Does HEIF still have significant compatibility barriers, when sharing photos?

    Are HEIC files compatible with Lightroom 6?

    I have the standalone version of Lightroom 6 on my Mac. When I try importing HEIC files I can't seem to do so. Is Lightroom 6 compatible with HEIC files? I have a MacBook Pro (2015) and am running Mojave 10.14.6. I'm wondering if there is a setting I need to tweak?
