RAW vs HEIC

4 years 10 months ago #644748 by KZAM
If you are an iPhone user, you know that when you export your photos from iPhone, they are now in this annoying new HEIC format that make it difficult to transfer images to non-apple users.  

How does HEIC compare to RAW files, do you know?

I don't need no stink'in Signature! ha ha ha

HEIC format, developed by the MPEG group, it too close to
JPEG to rise a iota in the direction of RAW — the thing!

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Not RAW, as stated. It's about compression. Another Apple-ism that no one cares about... except the fanboys/fangirls.

Well I'm one of those who cares, only because it's a PITA to share photos.  Wish they would make it easier.

I've never taken a picture with my phone so I am
really not aware of your difficulties, Neil!

There's a google for that.

There's a section for changing Settings to be compatible.
