Distinguishing between regular and HDR iPhone pics?

Is there a way to find the HDR photos taken with the iPhone 4S? When I sync, both the regular and the HDR versions are added to aperture. How do I tell which is which?

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7)

WOW! Great thanks. That is very useful.


Btw you can see the 'custom rendered' exif in some other software easily if you don't have Photoshop or just don't want to do it that way. For example, if you open the photo in Apple's Preview app that comes install with macOS you can go to Tools -> Show Inspector -> More Info tab -> Exif and there you will find a 'custom rendered' field.

There's a custom EXIF field added when the iPhone makes an HDR image, "Custom Rendered". If the value is present and greater than 1, it's an HDR image.


If you're wanting to verify which image is HDR, you can open it in Photoshop, and File>File Info. Click on the far right tab, "Raw Data". You'll be able to see the EXIF data in it's raw markup state. There's a search field in the top right. You can use that to search for 'custom rendered', or manually search for it. It's towards the bottom.


In the three tests I did, the HDR was always the second photo. (eg: 001.jpg= stadard def, 002.jpg= HDR
