Gainmap HDR HEIF Export Plugin for Lightroom Classic

September 25, 2025 · View on GitHub

This plugin enables exporting in the Gainmap HDR HEIF format from Lightroom Classic.

Starting with LRC 14.0, HDR export is supported, but it doesn’t include Gainmap support, which causes compatibility issues on Android devices. This plugin resolves that problem.

Note: Currently supports Lightroom Classic 14.0 and macOS 15.0 only.

Gainmap code is from PQ_HDR_to_Gain_Map_HDR


Download the LRC plugin

  1. Download the plugin. Release
  2. Open the DMG file.
  3. Drag the export_heic.lrdevplugin to your disk.

Adding the Plugin to LRC

  1. Open the "Plug-in Manager" in LRC.
  2. Click "Add."
  3. Select this plugin.

How to Use

  1. Select your photo(s) and open the Export window.
  2. At the top, choose "Export to HEIC."

  4. Enable HDR output, but disable "Maximum Compatibility"
  5. Start the export process.

Build

  1. Install the Xcode development environment.
  2. Run make in the directory.

Since the export process uses TIFF as an intermediary format, ensure you select TIFF for export.
