Portrait Mode Export and Import (from and to Photos app)

[Jay-Jacob]

Hi

I probably be unusual about this. I use Photos app on my Mac. I have 2 library. iCloud library and Mac library. End of year I export photos/videos from iCloud and save it on Mac library as backup copy with files names changes I do in Finder.

I get new iPhone 12 Mini so that first time I get use Portrait mode. I noticed when exporting Portrait Mode photo with unmodified original option will create HEIC file with no blur affect with AAE file with it. If I use normal export will be JPEG file.

I want know how to export unmodified original with HEIC and AAE file to import it back in Photos app but on Mac library. It just end up no blur effect. Is there any way do this?

Thanks

I have search Google but it seems there no possible way keep non-destructive edits (that what AAE file is) from one Photos library to another Photos library. That shame.
