If I didn't want more than 8 bits, I'd be perfectly well catered for. It does lossless, but no more than 8 bits. (I'm not sure how much newer.)Įxports might be limited to 8 bits per channel and lossy compression. You need a version of macOS newer than El Capitan. Preview can export photos in HEIC format. Maybe someone else knows of one and jump in. It only tells us you are a late adopter.Īfaik, there is currently no software that allows you to save as/export to HEIC. My advice would be to wait a few more years and see how it develops, before jumping to HEIC. I'm trying to act on my own needs, not hop on board a trend. How many of them got implemented upstream by the world's biggest image-making company? How many of them additionally got integrated by Canon? You're right, nobody can predict the future, but at this point I don't care. But none of these formats survived or even came close to replacing JPG or TIF or native RAW formats. Over the years many “better” formats saw the light and caused a hype. It may conquer the world, but it also may not. Why not go for that?Ĭurrently HEIC is mainly used for mobile devices. You can convert to TIF with any flavor of choice. No I don't want 4 16-bit TIFF files per GB, thanks very much. If disk space is your argument then personally I’d say: disk space is cheap. If interoperability is your argument then you’re further off using HEIC. I just want lossless 'processed image' files larger than 8 bit that aren't massive. I’m curious what your arguments are to switch to HEIC.
