Developers cannot easily extract and process depth map data from iPhone HEIF images using standard tools

Developers and photographers need to extract depth information embedded in HEIF images captured by iPhone X and later models, but ImageMagick and other common image processing tools don't support this format natively. This forces users to search for obscure workarounds or purchase specialized software, creating friction in computational photography workflows.
