iOS sending pictures as 'Full Size Render'

I assist someone with doing online listings. Many times he takes pictures with his iPhone and sends them to me

via email. Every time I get the pictures - instead of being numbered like every other camera/phone on the planet

does - the pictures are all tagged 'Full Size Render'. This make my job infinitely more difficult, as I have to rename

every single one of them, so that my computer doesn't keep harping about them having the same name. What needs

to change on his phone to stop this?? And why is it even doing it in the first place?? It is NOT beneficial in ANY way

for the phone (or iOS) to do this. If anyone knows which settings needs to be changed, your input will be greatly

appreciated. Thanks in advance.


P.S. This is happening when he sends the pictures at full resolution, as we need them that way, or eBay rejects them.

I agree with you. If your iPhone cannot seamlessly transfer photos to your Mac after doing edits on your iPhone, that eliminates one major advantage it had for me in selecting an iPhone over competing phones. After endless updates--still no fix. Makes me long for the days when "It just works."

Hello!


Having the exact same issue and so are many others.

I noted it in Apple Feedback forum and you should as well. The issue is with the device itself and not the mail client. Texting produced the same result.

The senior Apple technician replicated the problem. No matter where or how you send the photo, it is renamed.


They didn't call it a bug and said it is "expected Apple behavior" but I believe he saw the innate problem with this. He encouraged everyone to place a note in Apple's feedback forum as I have.


Hopefully they'll have this and other bugs resolved upon a new software release.


Cheers.

It was the filter setting not being on none as the one post said above. Fixed the issue for me. But the engineers still should do something to the software to enable you to send pictures that have been taken using one of the filters with a unique number or at least say fullsizerender.123 if they are thinking you would want to remember a filter was used on the picture. but at least I can get my work done faster now -thx, posters son. Lol

Hello


please report this to Apple. I have. And got a senior advisor who reproduced the issue. They can't fix a bug they don't know about.

IF you open messages or Mail on your phone and then selected a filtered photo see what happens. I got a new file name but need to test further. It was renamed "image1.jpg. And I'm not sure it it will sequentially add or not.

Try this test: take a pic with no filter. Modify it with any feature in Photos. Then any image you email or text and ALL will be named "fullsizerender.jpg". From Mail or Messages it renames theM "Image1.jpg".

NOT just filtered but adjusted. And every single fine with the same name is a problem. Apple even saw this that way. I sure hope they did it as it renders their editing tools useless and I've relies on third party mobike ones. Users may overwrite same-named files and lose data. 😟

a WORK-AROUND for texting a photo with an IMG number (avoiding FullSizeRender):

edit in Photos app; when ready to send as a text, tap and hold till Copy Hide appears. Tap on Copy. Go to Messages app and Paste photo into text field.

Image will have the correct IMG number.


haven't figured a workaround for email:

RESULTS: Sending direct from Photos: FullSizeRender. Copying and pasting into an email: image1.jpeg

I tried the copy to the Message app. Got the image name correct.

Also tested the mail app and got the same result as you 'Image1.jpg"


1. we want and require the original file name so that our data is consistent and accurate and not lost or rewritten

2. we want to use the Photos app to modify our pics so that we can email/send with their unique file name


I reported this to Apple. Hopefully they'll fix. :/

Will you do the same? Only then will they know. They're not here with us users.

The filter option does not seem to fix the actual problem. I never take photos in one of the pre-set filters.


I just air-dropped 29 photos from my iPhone 6 to my mac and they were all named IMG_XXX photos. Perfect. Then I realized it would be easier to crop and edit them for the quick project I was doing on my phone instead of Photoshop on my computer. So I went back to the photos and cropped them on my phone. That's ALL. A few of them got vertically adjusted because they weren't taken perfectly straight. Other than that I only cropped them. No other edits.


I went back to air drop them onto my mac and only 8 of them had the IMG _XXX names and the rest of them were Full Size Render numbered 1-21!! ***. I can't figure out exactly what the difference is between the two sets because I think I cropped all of them to some degree. Maybe those 8 weren't vertically adjusted so less was edited on the photo, therefore it didn't have to "full size render"?!?


Clearly it's more of an edit problem than simply using a filter. So perhaps the solution is to not edit photos on the phone AT ALL before you send them to a computer if you want the original file names? But what's the fun (or ease of use) in that when I have so many great and fast editing tools at my fingertips on my phone? I mean at least it numbered the FSR photos and didn't think they were duplicates, but still... Apple needs to fix this.
