All .heic photos are blurry

Hi C1 (-community), 

I imported a lot .heic files from my iPhone 8 and all the photos are blurry. The originals in the folders are still in original quality when opened outside C1. Is there a easy fix? I would rather not import again as the original .heic pictures are sorted by month together with my .raf pictures from my X-S10. I have to handpick almost 2000 pictures in 12 folders to import them again (or delete almost 2000 photos in C1 and click import (without duplicates)). 

Thanks for your help!

    Check View/Proof Profile

    If you have a recipe selected then make sure that the recipe is not significantly larger output size than the HEIC file.

    Thank you for your reply!

    It was on Adobe RGB and I selected no profile or JPEG highest quality. But it made no difference. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

    I deleted all the .heic files in C1 21 manually from its catalogue (emptied the trash) and re-imported them. Same issue. To check I searched the original files and opened them in Preview on my MacBook Air M1: sharp! So the issue must be in Capture One, not in the files or in MacOS I guess...

    If you'd searched the forum before posting, you wouldn't need to guess - you're not the first to raise HEIC issues:

    I did read that post, but not thoroughly because the OP was running C1 on Bootcamp/Windows, which is not the case in my situation. And the OP was experiencing lack of adjustment, but said nothing of the blurry look. But I will let you know if this resolved my issue. I thought I was running the latest version of C1 21. I am sorry for your inconvenience. Thanks.

    The last number of the version is not visible in C1, that's why I thought it was the latest version. Updated the program and the issue is finally resolved. Thank you all!
