HEIC files have the same image quality as the original image, but have a better compression.īut if we import images as HEIC and videos as HEVC, Photos will create an additional JPEG for the HEIC files to share with Media Browser, and an addition H.264 video for any HEVC video. HEIC or JPG? I see the file format is smaller with HEIC but is it better quality in the end? Photo Sweeper can scan your library for similar photos and detect multiple versions of the same photos. Photos does not check for identical images. The duplicate detection in Photos, when importing image files is checking for identical files, so the file format has to be the same. Obviously duplicates were not detected before when Photos was probably looking at IMG_2829.JPG and IMG_2829.HEIC as different files even though it's really the same picture? When I want to edit a HEIF photo in Luminar 2018, I have to use the external Editors extension and convert the image file to TIFF, before I can edit it. While my Macs support HEIC and HEVC, not all photo editing extensions I am using support them yet. This way I can save storage on my iPhone and in iCLoud, but on the Mac I need more storage, because Photos will create cached JPEG and H.264 videos for the media browser. Then the new iPhone media will sync as HEIC and HEVC to the Photos Libraries on the Macs. The easiest way to have HEIC and HEVC on the iPhone and to sync to the Mac without duplicates is iCLoudPhoto Library. It seems crazy that the HEIC format is being implemented and promoted whilst only half the system actually supports it, at least provide this information so that we can make a call on the drawbacks of adopting the new format. It's also spamming my Google Photos (sorry/not sorry) with these duplicates, and seemingly no way of preventing the JPEG photostream duplicates from uploading or making PS sync with the HEIC versions. I have this issue and it's causing chaos in my libraries.
