How to Easily View and Edit HEIC Photos in Adobe Photoshop

by Christine Smith • 2024-08-03 14:34:25 • Proven solutions

Adobe Photoshop is widely popular, no doubt regardless if it can run an Adobe HEIC to JPG image conversion or not. Still, it will be a massive disservice on our part if we proceed with this article without getting deeper into the functionalities of Adobe Photoshop.

Photoshop users are provided many creative abilities that can enhance images, edit images, or even artworks. They can also edit illustrations, alter the backgrounds of an image, create what looks like real-life art, and so many others. Some of its many versions include Photoshop CC, Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Lightroom, and Photoshop Express.

There is also a reduced-feature version for iOS, but whether it can support turning HEIC to JPG remains the big question here, which we will get to soon.

Part 1: Is it possible to open the HEIC file in Photoshop with its built-in feature?

If you are an ardent user of Adobe Photoshop, you would know that it seamlessly opens images presented in almost all the available image formats.

The same cannot be said currently for images and photos captured in the HEIC format. Thus the need to first run an Adobe HEIC to JPG image conversion before opening said image in Adobe Photoshop.

The Adobe Photoshop app, by default, has no in-built or native adaptations and support for the HEIC file format. This simply means that end-users cannot open images encoded with the HEIC format on Adobe Photoshop. It just doesn't recognize it as an image.

The file is shadowed by a grey hue that indicates incoherency with the language the App speaks format-wise, and therefore cannot open it.

All this may change in the future as the HEIC image format gains popularity across other devices that aren't iOS devices and macOS. Photoshop works perfectly with a dozen different file formats that include PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, TIFF, PSD, and so on.
