HEIC images from iphone 16 not displayed

[ibgb]

Previous versions of HEIC from older cameras, display, but from the new iPhone 16 the images are not being displayed. Apple wouldn't be changing things would they?

This is on a Mac laptop running version macOS 14.6.1 .

What build of Photo Mechanic Plus are you using?  The latest builds all show your sample picture just fine.

I tested build 7212 (version 6), and build 7578 (All-in-One) with your image on macOS Ventura and they both worked.

vers.  Version 6.0, build 7212 (90865b3)

Here is the actual imported or grabbed photo:

I will also see if that image works under Ventura, but not Sonoma.

Just tried the latest 7212 version with Ventura and that also did not like  the second file. I think the first file I sent you was from photos which filtered out GPS data perhaps.

It's the weekend. Make sure you get some sunlight.

[ibgb]

I just verified that the picture exported from photos (without the GPS data) works fine. But the second picture I sent you straight from the camera sort has problems.

[ibgb]

If picture exported from photos application with no modification, i.e. just the original image, then there are problems displaying the HEIC pic.  If the picture is exported through Photos application with GPS data or without it then there are no display problems.

There's a bit difference between the original picture and one exported through the Photos app. Maybe a few bits difference.

Build 7765 and the Universal Binary beta 5 render the second image without issue.  PM 6 (and Plus) do not.

What does this mean? Will PM plus ever work with these images?

I have been out of touch with all the recent changes.

[ibgb]

Just a FYI:

I have an old macOS system, 32 bit, version 10.14.6, which does handle these new images quite well.

So its probably not the HEIC image format, but probably the PM+ HEIC software package bundled within.

Same issue. Also using PM Version 6.0, build 7212 (90865b3)

I’m stuck - my photo workflow is at a halt with my new phone.

Is there any resolution? Is there a newer version? I checked for updates using the app and it said I’m on latest.

We have not yet published a new build with the changes to display these images, which is why the update check says that you are on the latest build.

We have completed the basic pre-release testing for these new builds, but they have not gone through our full typical testing schedule to ensure that other, new issues were not introduced with the bug fixes we have made in these builds.  If all goes well in our full testing, these will be the builds we release:

Thank you so much for the quick response! 

I can see my iPhone 16 photos now.
I haven't yet done very many operations with this version yet, but so far it works for me.

Will there be release or will the above mentioned packages be the release?

I thought the software update would mention a new version, but mabe the above is it?

I have used PM6 and found no issues, but have not tested all kinds of scenarios.
