Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have edited some photos on your device, but when they are viewed on your computer you do not see the edited version. This can happen because of the format of the photos. The attached article explains why this can happen and how you can view the edited photos.
iOS: Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps - Apple Support
Cheers,
Joe

Jan 27, 2015 8:18 AM in response to thanos230by léonie,★HelpfulMatt, this has changed with iOS8.
With iOS 7 and iPhoto for iOS the camera filters would be transferred with the photo stream as XML, that iPhoto and Aperture understand, like described in Joe's link.
iOS8 changed the graphics format, see this support document:
iPhoto and Aperture don't have edits to photos you import from iOS 8 devices
iOS 8 edits are represented in a format, that iPhoto and Aperture cannot read. When you download your photos with Image Capture instead of with iPhoto, you may see sidecar files "IMG_20XX.AAE", or similar. These are the edited versions of your photos, describing the filters and other settings. The problems is, that there there are not yet any apps on the Mac, that can read these files. We'll just have to wait a bit.
Apple recommends to transfer the edited photos or filtered photos using Mail.
Or use iCloud Photo Library (Beta): Has anyone found a way to import iOS 8 photos directly into iPhoto without sending copious emails to myself?

Thank you for the reply. That makes sense. I guess I'll have to wait. Or import them manually. I also use Lightroom (which a superior editor to iPhoto). iPhoto is just for convenience and snapshots.
I have activated iCloud Photo Library (Beta), but that has not changed anything as of yet. I guess they'll have to update iPhoto or how the xmp metadata is transferred via iCloud?
Thanks again,
Matt (aka thanos230)

We don't know, if there will be further updates to iPhoto, as Apple announced, that all new development will be for the new Photos app yet to come. You will be able to migrate the iPhoto libraries to Photos.
