IOS – Photo edits in iOS 7 do not save when exported to PC

dropboxiosphotos

I applied some edits to my photo using iOS 7's default photo editor: red eye correction, auto enhance, etc.

It looks great when I preview the image on iPhone, but when I look at the image on my PC it looks the same as the original: all the edits are gone. I use the Dropbox app on iOS to sync my camera roll to my PC through the cloud.

What do I need to do to push the edited photo to my PC?

Try emailing the photos to yourself.

When you edit photos, iOS doesn't actually modify the JPG file. Instead, it saves an XML file with the same name that contains information about what edits were made—that's why edits "disappear" when you copy the JPG. They were never there in the first place.
