iPhone isn't transferring photos taken with built-in filters

I have the same problem.

I can't email the pics to myself as I'm also having problems with setting up a personal email. I don't see why we should go through all those procedures just to have a pic transferred. I would rather use another app then waste so much time.

I'm on iPhone 5S iOs 7.0.3

iPhone 11 (9.5) in Mavericks

When using Image Capture, I prefer to manage my photos myself before adding to iPhoto, the images do not import with a filter.

However, when using iPhoto, prior to import, the images appear with no filter, the square photos are square. Once the import is complete the filters get applied to the images.

I do love the Noir filter and use it alot, I guess I'll change my workflow to use iPhoto for the time being.

Best way to copy camera roll with filters is to import photos what you want to copy in Filemaster app. and then connect iphone to pc. Now go to apps >> File sharing >> Select Filemaster >> Select photos OR Select Folder in which you have imported >> Click Save to.. >> Select Destination. And there you are with all photos same as you are seeing in your any iPhone. 🙂

Give points to me if you will get your sollution.

Mine do.

And they should: What to expect when you import edited photos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac or PC - Apple Support

If yours don't you have an individual problem with your phone. Go to Settings/iCloud. Is Photos turned on? You said you import your photos. If it's turned on you should not have to import them.

I'll have to contradict you there, regarding access to content.

You will have to contradict Apple, also: iCloud security and privacy overview - Apple Support

Regarding celebrities, No, iCloud was not hacked. Individual accounts were hacked because the owner of those accounts did not take their security seriously enough and used obvious passwords and no 2 factor authentication. I'm sure you would not make that mistake.

There's an easier way, that includes the new Photos app for Mac:

1. Make any edits you want on your pics to your phone
2. Open Photos on both your phone and your mac, and wait until all your edits have been synced to your computer. (Provided you have not migrated your Aperture/iPhoto library to your Photos for Mac app, and you have activated the iCloud Photo Library on both your phone and the Photos for Mac app).
3. Select the photos you want to transfer from the Photos for Mac, then right click -> share -> Add to Aperture. The edited pics will be imported into a new project in Aperture, with all edits and metadata preserved. (Once in Aperture, you won’t be able to revert to the original as it was taken, you would have to revert on Photos for Mac)
4. You can now delete from your iPhone & Photos from Mac (if you want).

So you iCloud it to dropbox and then email? You use three steps to import photos from a phone in 2016? If it works for you fine, but I preferred just importing straight into my application. That made more sense to me and certainly saves time when doing actual work.

The fact is, Apple have 'broken' the filtered image import - this is what is causing the problem.

No, that is NOT what I said. I took a filtered picture:

• It appeared, filtered, seconds later in the Photos app on my computer. Done.
• As an experiment, I also shared it to Dropbox Filtering preserved. Alternative. Done
• As another experiment, I emailed it. Filtering preserved. Alternative. Done.

AFTER this experiment, I opened the Photos app on my Mac and exported the image to my desktop. I was given the choice of saving the filtered or unfiltered image. I saved filtered, and could view it filtered in Preview. As you like iPhoto I then imported the filtered image into iPhoto and it remained filtered.

You don't have to do everything I did. Just turn on iCloud photos. All of the images, with filtering, will appear in the Photos app on your computer, filtering in place. And also in the web interface to iCloud. If you really want them in iPhoto then simply open Photos first, select and export to a folder, and import to iPhoto.

Alternatively, on your phone save them to Dropbox. On your computer import them into iPhoto from Dropbox. Saves a step. ALL of these different ways work, and ALL are more convenient than transferring over a USB connection.

So, back to the question, how does one copy filtered photos to one's own Mac? More specifically, does anyone have a sensible answer about how to do this with a USB cable, as per the way we all could do it from c1996-2014.

1. Enable iCloud Photos on the iOS device
2. Enable iCloud Photos on the Mac
3. Enable iCloud Photos on any other Apple devices you have (except Apple TV)
4. Alternative 1: email them to yourself
5. Alternative 2: Message them to yourself
6. Alternative 3: Airdrop them to your computer

All of your filtered photos will appear on all devices, as well as via the web at https://icloud.com.

Once iCloud Photos is enabled any new photos will appear on all devices as soon as they are taken. Filtered and unfiltered versions of each. If you don't want to keep them in iCloud Photos you can export from the Photos app on your mac to any photo management app, including iPhoto, Google Photos, Aperture, upthere.com, Adobe Photoshop Elements, etc. When you export you are given the choice of filtered or unfiltered. Methods 4, 5 and 6 only preserve the filtered version. You can't do it with a USB cable, and why would anyone want to when wireless is easier and completely automatic?

The way to save the filter is to think of it as a "setting." The setting isn't attached until the picture is exported. It works the same way as iPhoto for Mac. To truly preserve the filter, send to yourself it via email. Open the email, then add the picture to the camera roll. There may be a shorter way (I haven't tried this one), if you save it to the camera roll directly from the share/export feature.

You don't have the same problem. This is your problem.

Create your own thread and ask for help setting up email. Some may say that you should read the instructions at Google, Yahoo, Hotmail or iCloud.com. Some may even read the instructions for you, then re-write them so you can read them here.

Setting up the email is another issue entirely... I DO have the same problem with taking pictures using the built in app and the pictures not being transferred to iphoto, with the filter I used!

I do not wish to have to email myself each picture and then transfer them... I don't have that much time to waste.

Next time read my post properly before making condenscending remarks.

Again, not the same issue. This is your issue.

Neither I nor anyone here can help with what you do not wish to do.
