Question about .heic images [SOLVED]

[mforce2000]

I'm new here and I have just started a project in PTE AV Studio on macOS 26.  I have many images from my iPhone in "heic" format.  When I browse them in the file list, the colors are all wrong.  I would appreciate assistance in correcting this.  Do I need to convert them to another format?

check which Colour Space you are working in.

sRGB is the recommended one to use, but  you can change it depending on your monitor setup.

See Settings/Preferences/System

jpg format is normally the best to use if you are going to convert your images

Thanks for the advice.  sRGB is what the PTE preference is set to.  I tried changing to all of the other profiles and none of them worked.

When I view the images using macOS preview, Pixelmator Pro, or Affinity Photo 2 they display correctly. It is only in PTE AV Studio Pro that the colors are wrong.

I did convert a couple of images to JPG and PNG and they both display properly in PTE.  Sine I have over 500 "heic" images, it would be great if I would not have to convert them all to work in PTE.

Hi, it looks like you're using Beta version of macOS 26 Tahoe - the final version has not been released yet.
I confirm this issue with HEIC images in the current Beta version. We're checking the code and will try to fix it before the final version is released.
You can wait the updated version or convert HEIC images to JPEG format.

Thanks for the reply.  I can confirm that I am running macOS Tahoe so that explains it.

I will look forward to the update!

Hi,

Please try a new version on your Mac with macOS 26 Beta. Now HEIC images should be shown correctly:

This version includes only one this improvement. The About window shows v11.0.18 Build 4.

PTE AV Player (if you create shows for a Mac):

I just installed the update and the heic images now display correctly.
