boboneleg Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 So my i phone has always recorded photos in jpeg format but today the twats at Apple changed it without telling me . The photos I took today have all been recorded in HEIC format , so I just had a to download a converter to change them to jpeg. Why don't these twats just leave things alone ............. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 What gets me is that sometimes I can upload them from my laptop to here just fine, other times it complains about format. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Copy and paste from the thumbnail in preview and you'll bypass the forums wanky upload settings completely. Works everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works everytime. I tried to do that but ended up with a tiny picture, like a stamp. Where do you copy from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double click the pic from the homescreen, or open the pic in 'preview' and copy n paste directly to the post from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I open the pic and duplicate, the duplication is in jpeg. That's on a Mac BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It automatically changed it to HEIC - High Efficiency (probably after an update) , you have to set it to Most Compatible 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 The annoying thing Fred is that I didn't change myself so it must have happened in the last update. Perhaps the Apple gods are playing with me ............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 FFS Apple twats is damn right. Half way through watching ‘Speed is Expensive: the Phillip Vincent Story’ when it stops playing and this bloody message appears. Apparently I can only continue using ‘HDCP’ Cue another lengthy update and reboot. I don’t want to do any work today, the swines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're on a PC you can download the Irfan View app. https://www.irfanview.com/ It's free and it will open almost any image format. It also let's you convert several files at ones if you want/need. It has several other features, like resize, crop, etc... I've been using it for years. It's great. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzak Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I don't know why people buy Iphones, they haven't done anything new since Steve Jobs died and look at the complaints, just man up and get an Android ffs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
