The Apple format may be the same as many websites now use, invented by Google 
(WEBP)

Possibly of use to some, is a free program for Windows that will convert from 
many image file formats to others (eg, to JPG) - it is Xnconvert. 

XnConvert Version 1.83 - windows (Jan 16 2020) - Libformat version 7.37

Email: cont...@xnview.com
URL: http://www.xnconvert.com

I use it mainly for .webp  to .jpg or .png

It can convert one or many image files from one or numerous folders, and put 
the converted file into the original folder or into a common folder.
This is because it uses "drag and drop" - very easy to use, but does require a 
little work to select the formats and folder.

The simplest way from pictures on iPhone would be to copy all required from the 
iPhone, to a folder on Windows or to a USB that can be attached to your Windows 
machine - Legacy Family tree is on Windows.

Then use XnConvert

Change your settings in iPhone to JPG. Makes life a lot simpler.  Storage on 
iPhone is cheap - $1/mo fo 50 GB storage in iCloud.

If you don’t want to do that, then get a photo program that converts Apple 
format to Jpg and do that for every photo you take and want to use in Legacy.  
That’s a pain and requires lots of time and fiddling with file formats, saving 
files, creating folders, etc.

Good luck!

[LegacyUG] Media - Picture File Extension

2022-10-16 Thread Bill Hoff
 iPhone converts pictures received or taken to an “heic” extension. Legacy does 
not support. Don’t really want to change phone application as a jpg file takes 
more storage it’s said. Tried saving the heic file on PC to jpg file but Legacy 
still won’t accept. Any help would be appreciated.
