When I transfer photos which I edited from my iphone (6) to mac (yosemite), iPhoto (version 9.6) does not see edited photos, only originals. How can I transfer edited photos?

Hello akvarel,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with your photos. If the photos you have edited on your iPhone are importing as the original (un-edited) photos in iPhoto on your Mac, you may find the information in the following article helpful:

Hello,

Hi akvarel,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Community.

Metadata for managing edits on the iPhone uses a "sidecar" file with a .AAE file type rather than embedding the XMP data in the JPG file. Thus, it is essential to import the AAE file when transferring images to a computer from an iPhone. If the transfer was done with iPhoto 9.5 or higher on the computer the .AAE file should have been imported into iPhoto along with the .JPG. If the transfer was done with an older version, or was done with a tool other than iPhoto, the .AAE file may have been lost. Some users "cleverly" delete the .AAE files, not knowing what they are for.
The .aae sidecar file isn't being imported for me in the new Photos.app on Mac
Did you have any luck?
edited photos from iPhone to Mac appear original
