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)

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.

@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).

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.

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."
