filters

Restore filters on photos imported from iOS 8.

Problem

iOS 8 lets you apply filters on photos like "Chrome", "Transfer" or "Instant".

But when you import the photos on a Mac, the filters are lost.

Solution

1. import the photos with Image Capture
2. run $ python filters.py

Algorithm

for each AAE file:
    if there is a paired JPG file:
        read the filter name in the AAE file
        apply the filter to the JPG file
        save the new JPG file

Disclaimer

Quick and dirty PyObjC script that you can read and hack.

Works for me on OS X 10.10.3.
