Q: how to open/view AAE image files imported to Windows?

Nov 3, 2014 1:17 AMby Alednew,HelpfulThanks for replying .I tried a whole bunch of those links but they don't help.
I hope Apple changes the .AAE extension to a windows compatible one in the next update of iOS for Iphone because I want to be able to view my downloaded pictures I edited on my IPhone on my PC. Or that they come up with a free windows compatible software for viewing pictures made and edited with an Iphone.
I have already learned that if i don't crop, or do not apply any other tricks you can do on the Iphone ( which I really like) then they remain JPG and then there is no problem. I can't find any solution on internet. And no doubt there are a lot of Windows users with an Iphone.

I am also having this issue. I copied all my photos from my iTouch (version 8.1) to my XP computer. Most of them came across ok, but any photos which had been edited on my iPhone, that is taken with a colour filter active, the jpg photo isn't copied just the .aee sidecar file.
For example:
IMG_6523.JPG
IMG_6524 (1).AAE
IMG_6524.AAE
IMG_6525.JPG
The AEE files are only 1KB so just an xml file, no image, edited or otherwise. Luckily I still have the edited image on my phone, but wonder how now can I extract that file to my pc? I am working from a second pc away from home on a trip (hence why I need extra space on my iTouch) and so luckily didn't click the 'delete original on extract' option. I now can't delete the photos manually from my phone as I don't know which ones were edited and which ones have been successfully backed up.
1/ If I do click the delete on extract, would that still keep the original unedited photo on the phone?
2/ How can I import the actual photo to my computer (normally using Win7 not WinXP)?
Thanks to anyone who has worked through the similar scenario and can give some advice.
Andy

You can also email them to yourself but they do not retain their original size even though you select the original size when emailing. Very frustrating to have your pictures unopenable after backing them up to your computer or going in after connecting your phone and copying them over to your computer.

Same thing happened to me. Go to your phone camera app, in the right lower corner there is a three bubble looking icon, this is for picture effects. Tap on it. You will get a screen with nine different choices of picture effects, choose the one in the middle , that says NONE. Apparently when You choose an effect for the picture your camera takes the picture unedited, edits it, then adds those AAE files for effects and your computer reads those files separately, but doesn't open none.Neither JPEG nor AAE. I selected the NONE for effects, took a picture and it worked for me.
