Not able to save to HEIC?

[gosnappic]

I am adding watermarks to HEIC photos. I'd like to resave them as HEIC, but when I choose to "save to original" the files are saved as PNG. HEIC is also not listed in the drop down list of file names. Any help?

Thanks. What would you recommend as the best export file format? Everyone I try desaturates the color of the picture.

I can't get the converted photos to keep the same saturation as the original photos. I tried several options. Exporting the heic out of photos as a jpg, verified the saturation was the same, added watermark in xn convert and saved with setting to preserve color, jpeg file, max quality, etc, still desaturated. Does XN Convert always desaturate?

Please send a sample file?

Have you ticked option "Preserve color profile" in output options? This *should* keep saturation appearance as in original (now color profile problems may appear down the road depending how the file is used/displayed... not all apps support profiles very well).
