HEIC to ICO: what to expect from the conversion

HEIC carries 10 bits per channel and ICO carries 8, so tonal steps get coarser during conversion. It shows up first in smooth gradients such as skies. If the result will be edited further, move to an 8-bit format only at the very end. ICO is lossless, so nothing further is discarded during conversion. What it cannot do is restore detail that HEIC compression already removed, and the output file will usually be considerably larger.
