Converting HEIC to JPG

Post by Terkelsen »

I wanted to make a simple flow, that could use Photoshop 2020 to convert HEIC (from iPhone) to JPG. The file opens fine, if I open it from Photoshop. However, if I send the HEIC file to the Photoshop configurator from within Switch, I get this error: "_0297L_IMG_8543.HEIC': the job file type is not supported".

Any ideas?

ImageMagick has support for the HEIC format so you do not require Photoshop to do the conversion.

Thanks for the workaround, Freddy. I'm still curious though, why that doesn't work with the Photoshop configurator.

It is probably not configured for that format. Do you see any error or debug messages?

Hi Jan,

Yes, there is a few debug messages from Photoshop:

Cannot find extension for Mac type '????' and creator '????' of the file '/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Enfocus/Switch Server/backing/HEIC to jpg/automanaged/Folder 3/_0297N_IMG_8541.jpg'

and...

osascript "/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Enfocus/Switch Server/temp/EnvironmentClass/5/RunScript.scpt" "/Users/erikterkelsen/Library/Application Support/Enfocus/Switch Server/temp/691/ScriptElement/2/6/FinalJavaScript.js"

and this error:

The requested statistics are not available for the job '/Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/Enfocus/Switch Server/ProblemFiles/HEIC to jpg/_0297M_IMG_8543.jpg': the job file type is not supported
