HedgeCam 2.14b Too slow png save

I have 11 bracket jpeg save time 1-2 seconds,

PNG save time 3-4 minutes.

This has to be using strongest compression level, which is slow even on my Xeon workstation CPU.

PNG size is often 27MB, compared to DNG 32MB. This is normal before denoising. PNG does not need compression before photo editing. Exposure bracketing is always gonna be edited, merged to HDR, so needs no compression.

Does it support HEIC?

The Android store has a user comment describing HedgeCam as a bleeding edge version of OpenCamera, which I use on my phone in DRO JPEG mode.

No heic.

I also wish if it could remove color banding, like from png and jpeg, but also before saving 16bit DNG.
