the only option to save pictures with more than 8bit is TIF, but this is not an option because of the file size, JPG has only 8bit. HEIF could archive same file sizes like JPG but with more bits per pixel.

thank you

HEIC is patented technology. There are more suitable alternatives for open source projects: JPEG XL and AVIF (which can be implemented via libheif is well, or just libavif).
