Q: Photos transfer from iPad to Mac, saving all changes?

Few last month, I used the workflow as to:

  1. shooting photos with a DSLR,
  2. uploading them from SD card to iPad, while I'm traveling,
  3. using iPhoto for basic editing, while I'm away,
  4. finally, at home, importing all, using Aperture on my Mac.

Shame, just recently noticed that all photos got transferred WITHOUT changes I did on them. Apparently, Aperture imports only originals, not a versions!

Is there any way to move the edited versions from iPad to Mac?

iOS7, Mac OS Maverick

A:

Only photos in the Camera Roll get transferred between devices.  Once added to the iPhoto library on your iPad and edited the edited version is no in the Camera Roll.  You need to copy them to the Camera Roll in order to be able to transfer them to your Mac.
