Q: iOS 7 Filtered Pictures Problem with iPhoto/Aperture

When I take a "filtered" picture with my iphone 5/iOS 7 it comes out fine. And when I look at the image either in the camera roll or in Photo Stream on any of my devices it still looks "filtered". However, when I open up Photo Stream on my iMac in either Aperture or iPhoto it is just a normal "non-filtered" shot. Anyone have any ideas of why this is happening?

Thanks.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

    I understand that this is an iphoto forum but I was hoping that someone who has seen the same problem might have heard about or found a workaround - like the post from Luigi above. Did not think it was beyond the scope of this forum. But thanks for replying.

    And have you tries their suggestio of using shared photos streams?

     

    Again things work liek they work - if shared PS works and you do not wnabt to use tehm then you have to wait (not that was not a fix but simply explaining a different feature that works differently - Shared PS are designe dto share photos with groups on various platforms - PS is to move photos form IOD devices to other IOD devices or your Mac - two totally different purposes

     

    SO once again no one here can fix anything - no one here is likely to solve yoru Google + problem - or even solve your PS problem except to give you a workaround which has been done and you appearently have rejected

    Larry if you read my response to Luigi I stated that I had not tried that and would see if it worked for me. So why you would say I rejected the solution given by someone else is something I don't understand. Also since you obviously have no interest in this question at all why (1) are you following it and (2) why do you keep posting in the thread?

    Luigi, I tried you idea of the Shared Photostream (and after finally figuring out how to make Aperture see it) you are right. For some reason the Shared Photostream - as opposed to the regular one - shows the Filtered photos as opposed to the normal ones.

    So at least until Apple figures something out, this will help.

    Thanks.

    I found a way around it. By taking screenshots i get to by-pass the whole process of the filters get missing. This can be quite tedious if you have taken 100+ photos but it remains the same when you import them to iphoto. With a little bit of cropping you should be fine until apple fixes this issues...

    @Swandy

    Yes it's a workaround. I think somehow filters become finalized for shared Photostreams. Makes sense. Usually I would not be interested for someone to have the ability to remove the filters on photos I shared with him.

    But this iPhoto/Aperture bug still exists in Maverick Beta :-(

     

    @Buraimoh

    Your workaround reduces size from  1536 × 2048 (iPhone 4s) to 640 × 960 (iPhone 4s Sreenshot). So this doesn't work for me, sorry.

    There is a work-around (although it may not be very practical with huge workflow) to saving filtered iOS7 photos in Aperture while retaining the filter (and yes, the top guys are right - the filters are part of iOS7 and simply not a feature currently available in Aperture, I gather). One way to keep the filtered version is to:

    (1) e-mail it to yourself,

    (2) download it to your Mac,

    (3) then with Aperture open on the screen touch the import stack - it will expand and show a thumbnail of the filtered photo - drag the thumbnail photo into the Aperture project/folder where you want to save it, it will save the filtered photo (retaining the filter).

    And it has been posted that if you put a filtered photo in a shared PhotoStream it retains the filter so you can use it on your Mac in iPhoto or Aperture

     

    I have not tested this

    Larry - that's how I have been doing it and it works fine (after I figured out that I had to turn on Shared Photostreams in Aperture). Same size file as if you emailed the filtered photo to yourself. Good enough work-around until Apple figures a way of OS to see the filters or how to let iOS devices Airdrop to Macs.

    Another workaround for seeing the filtered photo in 3rd-party apps on your device: after sharing to a Stream, save it from the Stream to your Camera Roll. The filtered photo is then available to other apps.

    Hi Massie - have to try that next time to see if Google+ sees the filtered version that way. Thanks.

    Sure—I don't use G+ but Save to Camera Roll from Photo Stream let me open the filtered photo in Snapseed.

    Probably won't help with your specific issue but I found this support page when my iPhone 4S with iOS7 all of a sudden would only take blank white photos. I played around with the settings and if I removed all filters (by selecting "none" in the settings section) it reverted to taking images again.

     

    Some voodoo magic definitely afoot, because I never use filters and did not change any settings. This literally "stopped working all of a sudden."
