Has anyone found a workaround to import new Fuji's HEIC files into Lightroom?

(cross posting in the Fuji forum).

I just learned that not all HEIC formats are the same, so Adobe can't import for example Fuji files.

Does anyone have a workaround for this ?

P: Support additional flavors (non iOS) of HEIC, HIF, HEVC for Import

Adobe get with the program. I tried importing *.HIF files today from my EOS R5 and Lightroom Classic doesn't even show them in the import window. They can't be imported. I can import iPhone *.HEIF files but not from the EOS R5. Adobe's lack of support for import and export of *.HEIF files is...

You might be able to open (and resave) Fujifilm HIF files by changing the suffix to HEIF, and/or by following these steps.

I know GIMP can open and save HEIC images, and suspect GIMP can open HEIF images as well, but I don't have a recent Canon or Sony or Fujifilm camera and can't find any HIF files on the web. If you post a HIF on Dropbox, or email one to me, I'll check.

Thanks. Tried this but unfortunately, this doesn't work. Apparently Adobe only supports iOS/MAc HEIC format....
