    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?

    How Do You Take Photos in Jpeg Instead of HEIC?

    Hi Mac friends. In iOS 15.1 and iPhone 6s Plus, how do you set the photos to save in jpeg, instead of HEIC? How do you make jpeg your default format when taking photos? Where in Settings do I navigate? Thank you God bless, Rev. 21:4

    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?

    Smugmug Users Who Back Up iPhone Photos

    How do you like the service? I’m considering signing up to free up storage on my phone, have a reliable backup, and share with family. My only hesitation is that it converts HEIF to JPEG. I wish I could preserve the original file type. 😬

    The Apple Photos app isn't uploading my photos, so I want to manually do it through Safari, but I'm getting an error message stating that HEIC photos aren't supported. Any idea as to why that limitation exists?
