I can’t possibly be the only one dealing with the issue of opening heic photos in Linux. The evil iPhone people think they can lock us into their agenda-driven systems. There must be a way to open these photos so we don’t have to rely on their OS! What’s the trick?
Hey @PrettyGranny !
I was looking and looking for the complex methods - but as it turns out, things evolved and it’s quite simple.
Open up a terminal and type in the following:
sudo apt install gimp gmic -y
Wait for the installation to complete and then double click on your HEIC file and voila! You can now process it on GIMP and save it as you like.
