[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1808981, member: 83420"] I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet? Firstly, you can choose whether to capture your pictures as High Efficiency (aka HEIF or HEIC) or JPEG. On your iPhone > Settings > Camera > Format > Choose "High Efficiency" (HEIF); or "Most Compatible" (JPEG). Secondly, even if you choose "High Efficiency" (HEIF), you can dictate the procedure by which these pictures are transferred to your Mac - either as HEIF or JPEG format. Go into Settings > Photos > Scroll to the very bottom. Here you will find "TRANSFER TO MAC OR PC". There are two options: 1. Automatic, which transfers [U]all photos[/U] in JPEG format - or - 2. Keep Originals, which means the transfer will be in whatever format you chose for the pictures/videos to be taken. In this case HEIF (HEIC), but that depends on your iPhone model. Some can only take JPEGs. Another thing to note is that irrespective of which format your pictures are stored in the Photos app; when you [U]export[/U] that picture, it is [U]always[/U] exported as a JPEG. So you are in control. You have the choice of which format you want your pictures to be taken AND which format you want them transferred to your Mac. Ian [/QUOTE]
