Problems with enhanced photos and orientation

I've just gotten an iPhone 4S and have been using it for the past few days. I'm amazed at the camera quality and the auto-enhance feature for photos but I was shocked to find out that photos synced to my PC via USB or Photo Stream are not the ones with the enhancements. Instead, only the original photos are synced. There is also the problem of some videos and photos being in the wrong orientation (i.e. upside-down) and this is a pain to upload onto Facebook or YouTube. I've seen a few threads with similar problems but I haven't seen one about the issues with the enhanced photos. C

iPhone 4S, iOS 5

Yeah....anybody have a sololution for this issue...? i got the same one.....?.... I have just figured out that if you sync photos via icloud to your computers, they would be enhanced versions.....But it's still not the best way, because sometimes we don't have the wifi or internet around. So if anybody have better solutions, please let me know.!....

thanks guys.....!

I have also the same problem, I have use the enhancement feature its really amazing and give good result, from my opinion that captured photos by the iPhone is looks paler than some other phone brands, but enhancement feature give it more colorful look, but the enhanced photos can't move directly from the iPhone to the PC even by make " Copy - past " or by "Import", also even you create a new folder in IPhone that folder cant be move to PC

the only way is to mail the enhanced photo or upload to facebook or something else

please advice

This is really frustrating!!! Why has Apple not corrected this after all of this time and this many comments? I had imported over 250 pictures using Picasa, then realized that the auto-enhance feature did wonders for the pictures on my iPhone 4s, so I went through and used auto-enhance on 590 pictures (talk about time-consuming!!), deleted the previously imported folder and started to import the newly enhanced pictures, only to find that they weren't enhanced at all!!!! Why is this? Come on Apple! I've already struggled mightily, like others, with the fact that pictures imported from my iPhone to my Windows Live Gallery are rarely oriented correctly, and even after I go through the process of changing them they won't save, plus many of the videos don't play, which is why I had to start using Picasa, which I don't like. Now I find the auto-enhancement feature is a waste of time, because we mainly look at our pictures on the computer, not the phone. The primary reason I purchased the iPhone 4s was for the camera, and yet I have had all of these problems with it, making something that should be very simple and efficient, extremely time-consuming and frustrating!!!! Come on Apple, please live up to your claims!!! Find a fix for this problem!

Hi, first post on here but a frustrating one. I just came back from a vacation to florida with my family going to all the parks..etc. anyway took around 1400 photos (yes i know its a lot, but love to keep the memories) it was around the 8gb mark, so i thought perhaps on the 9 hour flight home it would be something to do, why don't i put them on my ipad 3 and edit them on the flight? So i went to best buy bought an apple photo adapter, $29.99 !!!!! Then cleared a loadof rubish etc off my pad as its only 16 gb uploaded all the photos on to it for the flight home. Well it was a long flight editing the photos i managed to do around 900 on the flight the rest i did when i got home, I then synced it to my windows 7 pc and downloaded the lot in all there edited glory, for us all to enjoy! NOT! Same problem as you guys, can't get it to download the edited photos, I read on another forum that if i purchase some icloud storage i can store them in there and pull the edited photo's out to use on my p.c. I upgraded the icloud to 15 gb for another $20 dollars and low and behold............it did not work again! So i'm fairly frustrated, all those hours editing the photos, and $50 bucks lighter for the privelage! I feel ripped off! Come on apple sort this out, i know they wont be exactly the same on my p.c as it doesn't posess retina display, but it's a 23 inch dell widescreen HD and the photos range from 12 mp to 16 mp so they will look pretty good! I bet we wouldn't get this problem with a samsung galaxy. C'mon apple were your loyal customers, paying good money year in year out.
