[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1842695, member: 83420"] You are absolutely right, krs. For those interested or unaware of the difference - firstly taking photos: On iDevice, Settings > Camera > Formats > choose[I] High Efficiency[/I] (reduces file size. Uses HEIF format for photos and HEVC for videos) or [I]Most Compatible[/I] (jpeg for photos and H.264 for videos and file size larger) For exporting photos: On an iDevice, Settings > Photos > "TRANSFER TO MAC OR PC" - you have two choices - "Keep Originals" (ie in the format they were taken) or "Automatic" (transfers photos and videos in a compatible format - jpeg & its video equivalent) On your Mac: Photos > File > Export > Export (number) photos >then click on the Photo Kind pop-up menu and choose format. Just for info. HTH:) Ian [/QUOTE]
