2008 photo by Patty Whitney taken at the Jonquil Festival at Gibsland in north Louisiana. And Patty has a question, looking for help. All of the photos with my iPhone have the extension .HEIC, but I want to save them as a jpeg to my computer. I cannot figure out how to make that happen. Anyone has knowledge of how to accomplish this? Evidently I'm not the only one with this dilemma. I took hundreds of pictures of old photos and have downloaded them to my computer (or the cloud), but I can't change them to jpeg.

Awhile back Laurence Delaroderie sent us this photo which he identified as the Columbia Theater and Kean's Brothers' Cleaners on Third Street in Baton Rouge in 1910.
Note: Jim Clary, Jr. tells us in the comments explains that this picture is more likely from the 1920s. Thanks, Jim.
