Q: iOS 8: Keep photo effects after transferring to PC

Anybody managed to do this except mailing it to yourself (which is not a viable option)? In iOS 7 I was able to do this after re-saving the picture in iPhoto (the effect remained permanent). But now, in iOS 8, iPhoto is no longer supported.

iPhone 5s, iOS 8

    I know that if you share a photo album you can get all the pictures with the effects on iCloud. But I don't get why, many pictures get the resolution reduced a lot (around 640px).

     

    I want to print the pictures from my trip with the effects, so sharing on photo stream doesn't work since the quality goes bad for printing. I feel bad having apple doing this...

    Unfortunately. mailing the photos is the only option now, if you do not want the reduced size by sharing using a shared photo stream.

     

    Here is Apple's explanation - it is the "expected" behaviour:

         iPhoto and Aperture don't have edits to photos you import from iOS 8 devices

    An other method that works to quickly transfer a lot of pictures to your pc:

    - Open a dropbox account

    - Install the dropbox app on your iphone

    - Click upload files > photos > select all the photos you want to copy to your pc > Upload

    - Copy them all at once from your dropbox folder onto your pc. The effects will now be applied on the photos.

    ! Do not use the carousel app of dropbox, effects will not be transfered !

    As I mentioned in similar thread here:

    I found a perfect solution for this. The app PhotoSync (http://photosync-app.com/photosync/en/features.html) that let you select if you want ios filters applied even though it perfectly keeps exif metadata and offers a bunch of other cool things (exporting back and forth between various services and protocols) that even made me improve my workflow (i now use it with Lightroom´s auto import feature so as soon as i get home, PhotoSync automatically exports all my new iphone photos to specific folder on NAS where it will be later autoimported by LR).
    No need for a workaround by sending tons of images by email anymore!
