Q: Why is Aperture ignoring effects selected in iPhone?
I just noticed that all the effects like Chrom, Old, Transfer etc that one can select in the iPhone when taking a picture are ignored once the pictures are coming into the Photostream in Aperture. Is there a setting somewhere to keep those effects?
Thanks.

No, the photos are added to the Photo Steam before the effects are applied. The Photo Stream is transferring the original without effects. Which iOS version do you have? With iOS 7 or earlier you could duplicate the photo and try to save the edited version to the Camera Roll, Then the edited version will be added to the stream. With iOS 8 I do not know of any way to save duplicates to the Camera Roll. You can mail the edited version or use a shared stream.
See Apple's document: iPhoto and Aperture don't have edits to photos you import from iOS 8 devices
If you enable iCloud Photo Library Beta, available in iOS 8.1, you can download the edited photos with the filters applied from your iCloud home page, when you open the Photos.app on the page: https://www.icloud.com/
The photos will download in the full resolution with all filters applied, and you can select a complete "Moment" at once to download. The bad news is, that all tags and GPS coordinates will be gone, and the adjustments are burned in. Right now, it is impossible to transfer the edited photos losslessly like it was possible before. In iOS 7 we could undo filters applied in the camera inAperture on the Mac, but this is now impossible. Sharing by email will also remove the GPS coordinates and it will rename the photo with a stupid name, like "full-sizerenderjpg". So it will not be possible to sort the photos by name.
It is really a long wait for the promised Photos.app.
