Shotwell is my favorite. But I have to admit that I never heard of this image format

Some Sony and Canon camera's save in .hif as it's better quality than JPEG while requiring less space. It can also be used for a sequence of images, audio, & video. So makes sense Shotwell added .hif functionality as it's quite versatile.
