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)

    But that will result is a low resolution version (640 x 1136 pixels for an iPhone 5s) which won't be of much use other than viewing on a screen.

    The way this works is that iOS doesn't actually apply the filter to the photo.  Rather, it stores a set of meta data along with the photo detailing a list of cropping and filtering operations you have performed on it.  When you access the pgoto via iOS apps, they are accessed via an API which applies the filter on the fly.

     

    When you import to iPhoto, however, you're getting the file off the filesyetem, e.g. the raw original.  Possibly new versions of iPhoto can read the data and apply the filters, but certainly the version I use on my mac couldn't, so I wrote an app to save out the filtered photos so that they can be imported in bulkj via iPhoto.  It's called Phoreal, and you can download it from the app store at  http://appstore.com/phoreal

     

    I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.  <Edited by Host>

    If you have the latest iPhoto this is no longer an issue. It was updated to respect iOS edits.

    Does this involve iPhoto for Mac in some way?
