When it comes to transferring edited photos from iPhone to computer, I mean those photos that you have to add effects or adjust brightness. As is known to all, these photos can be copied to the computer in their original looks without the effects attached. This has been a very hot topic among iPhone users ever since the built-in photo filter app is developed for iOS devices.

When users are using Mac computers with iPhoto installed, they may be able to save the photos with effects attached when the photos are copied to computer. But if you are using a device running iOS 8 or later, you won't get the effects transferred. If you don't have too many photos, you can email these photos to yourself, and then you are able to get the photo effects in the attached photos. This method is not welcome by the iPhone users as they do not always get Wi-Fi connection, and many iPhone users have tons of edited photos to transfer.

At this moment, you should take advantage of iCloud to share these photos. The photos can be viewed on your other iOS devices and computers, so you don't have to transfer these photos to computer. You only need to go to Settings > iCloud, and enable it, then check "Photo Stream" on your iPhone and tap to ON. Enable Photo Stream on your other iOS devices and computer, and then you will see the photos shown with effects attached.
