HEIC - Profile Manager

[D0liver]

HEIC is the file format name Apple has chosen for the new HEIF standard. HEIF stands for High Efficiency Image Format, and, as the name suggests, is a more streamlined way to store image files. Using advanced, modern compression methods it allows digital photographs to be created in smaller files sizes, all while retaining higher image quality than its JPEG alternative.

The issue currently is that Window does NOT support his new format.

 

Has anybody managed to push out a setting so we don't have to disable this setting on each iPad?

 

You can do this in settings by doing thew following ;

 

Settings > Camera > Formats > Switch to 'Most Compatible'

 

Update: Apple has a JPEG converter built into iOS 11 photo transferring as well. If you go to Settingsand then Photos, make sure the “Transfer to Mac or PC” option is set to Automatic. This should make your iPhone photos transfer to your computer in a compatible format (e.g. JPEG). We’ve reached out to Apple to see why this conversion doesn’t seem to be working properly with certain programs for certain people (e.g. Lightroom importing).

Just found this ; it does the trick but not really something you want to be deploying to all of your PC's?

 

& it costs !

It does, but you need to download the codec from the Microsoft Store. It's free too!
