what is the .AAE extension?

That is why they want everyone using the cloud photos subscription, because having that you would not come across this issue of not being able to get the edited photos out of your ios device.

I was a little dramatic, but my simple file extension query this morning got much more complicated than expected. I tried using the import wizard in Win7, but it just copied all the files as if I did it manually. I will now upload photos to iCloud and then to their final storage location (or at least pick out the edited photos from iCloud as needed). Having read more about the XMP standard, it sounds especially promising for folks using different cameras and/or markup and edit lots of photos. For me, moving into the new millennium means I just have to add a step to my simple process of moving files. Thanks, Lawrence, for offering so much helpful advice in this thread. While I understand that Apple wants to steer people to their cloud service, it would be nice to have a simple option on the iPhone to compile the metadata with each image, either individually or en mass.

I agree that Apple should provide a more seamless way of incorporating the XMP data, and maybe some day they will, but at least there are workarounds.

Did u check the ringer switch to see if it is in the wrong position?

.AEE Files are just metadata that represent adjustments to the original .JPG files. They are not image files, only adjustments data.

Sadly but a final solution to be able to get the adjusted photos out of the devices is signing on to the iCloud service and then from a desktop device exporting them as .JPG.

any solutions for PC?

sorry Lawrence, just saw your reply! this helps me a ton! I want them on my computer or google and not on the cloud!

Hi i deleted my .AAE files unexpectedly. i dint make any changes to them. is there any way to restore them

Thanks

Suma

There is no way to recover them, but you should still have the images as .jpg. Any edits that you made to the images will have to be redone.

Yes, that’s why you have the aae file. But the original image should still be on the phone.

No i dont have any file related to that. Can you please help me where to find that original image.?

If the original JPGs are not there, you must have done something to delete them. They are separate from the aae files.

In the .aae files, the individual steps are stored in an XML-based format. The Mime type of the .aae files is application / octet-stream. check here for the more details about .aae files
