Have issues importing edited photos from iPhone 6 plus to iMac, iPhoto only imports the original photo not the edited one.

Once I have edited photos on my iPhone, connect to my Mac. iPhoto open and all my photos appear for importing, the photos are still in the original format and not how I edited them. iPhoto 9.6 and Yosemite. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong with the iphone settings or settings in iPhoto. Thank

iMac (27-inch Late 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), Iphoto 9.6

iOS 8 edits are represented in a format, that iPhoto and Aperture cannot read. When you download your photos with Image Capture instead of with iPhoto, you may see sidecar files "IMG_20XX.AAE", or similar. These are the edited versions of your photos, describing the filters and other settings. The problems is, that there there are not yet any apps on the Mac, that can read these files. We'll just have to wait a bit.
