HEIC was introduced in 2015 by the MPEG. It's a part of MPEG-H Part 12 (ISO/IEC 23008-12) and was largely popularised by Apple, who started using it as the default format for photos on iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra in 2017, replacing the JPEG format.
A window will open with lots of options, for this we simply:
That's it, Photoshop will run, process the images and create the folders such as JPEG / TIFF / PSD with those files added.
You now have your HEIC images converted to other formats.
The mountain pastures above Verbier in Switzerland, a good bit higher than the hill pictured here, are home to Herens cows which are a small breed perfectly suited to the slopes.
For the summer, you can go and visit your cow in her pasture and at the end of the season you get a 5kg wheel of cheese.
A smart idea and one that might also work in parts of Ireland, with Irish breeds of cow.
Now, which of these lovelies would you sponsor?
On we went to find more scenes to photograph.
Simply put, reflectance is defined as a "measure of the ability of a surface to reflect light or other electromagnetic radiation".
While the polariser hasn't changed the amount of light leaving the surface of the an object, in this case bracken on the hillside, it has remained the same - but the polariser has prevented some of that light from reaching the lens and sensor.
In this case, the striking green landscape of Ireland's Wicklow Mountains, we can easily see the difference between the polarised and non-polarised image.
On those rainy, cloudy days where the sun really doesn't make an appearance the light is still great for photography.
