iphone 12 issues, they can be imported but not edited, unless put through lightroom first

Nick Ure

I am using a Mac running Big Sur, 11.2.3 and Capture 21. I have an iphone 12. I cannot load iphone pics directly into C21 but I can export them out of the photos app into C21, but then I can't edit them, all the editing is greyed out.

But...

If I import the iphoto image into Lightroom, I can export them onto the desktop and then import them into C21. Then I can edit the image.

I'm glad I found a way to edit iphone pics in C21 but surely there must be a better way?

    Are you using ProRaw, heif/heic, or jpg?  I don't think Capture One supports ProRaw which, as I understand it, isn't really a raw format even though packaged in a DNG.

    Nope, not using ProRaw etc.

    Shouldn't  I be able to import iPhone pics directly into C21?

    Don't know.

    I rarely use my phone.  As a result my workflow is to use Airdrop to transfer the few images I might take from phone to computer.  I file the image where I want it on the computer.  Then I use the "add" feature of Import to add the image to my Capture One catalog.  This works fine on my older iPhone Xs in HEIC format

    Also I am using the regular iPhone 12, not the pro, so I don't have access to Apple Raw as it is only available on Apple pro's
