Edited photo when shared reverts to original

So I thought I'd give iPhoto a shot to use instead of Instagram and the likes since I've never used them and didn't want to use instagram now since FB owns your pictures once uploaded. Anywho, I edited the photo to my liking, I clicked on share and no matter which choice I select, it sends out the original (Twitter, FB, email, etc..) Anybody know why it does that? From everyting I've read when I edit and share it should send the edited one, or at least the one in front of me when I click share. Most recent iPhoto on iPhone 4.

So, all I do is start up iPhoto. I select a picture from my camera roll, I then select effects and add... lets just say a vintage one. I now looks "vintage" and how I want it, I then select share. At this point, no matter what I choose (email, facebook, twitter, etc.) it always shares the original and not the vintage one. Is there a way that I have to "apply" the effect other than choosing it? I even say "add to camera roll" for the edited one, and it just duplicates the original.

My Edits are there, but 'Revert to Original' has gone

Sorry, yet another iPhoto problem
I've noticed that though all my recent iPhoto edits are still there, the 'Revert to Original' has gone, for all of them. And the sliders - which should be in their post-edit positions - are all at zero or default.
I tested this by duplicating a recent edit, editing it dramatically (full saturation and colour temperature), came out of Edit, and went back in - no clickable Revert, and all sliders back in their default positions. I checked in the menu, and Revert to Original was greyed out.
I then went into Edit mode and flicked back through the Library. Occasionally the Revert to Original button was clickable, but as far as I can remember, those were all edits done ages ago in a previous version of iPhoto (and maybe not all of them?).
I thought iPhoto '11 kept track of editing adjustments, i.e. it was non-destructible editing? I appear to have a version that saves and preserves the edit(s), but overwrites the original.

Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-20276325-17180 0/open.PNG
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-20276325-17180 2/iPhotolibcontents.PNG
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
Sorry, I got your email but your reply hasn't appeared in the Discussions (NOW it has! just when I post the reply..), so I've pasted it here (hope you didn't mind).
Anyway, since then, when everything else failed, I did already have a look inside the Package, and there I saw all my Original and Modified versions, so I knew they were still there. It's just a case of why iPhoto isn't offering to Revert to them.
Ok, I have some questions about your latest advice (which is going to be a BIG JOB!!).
When you say Metadata, do you mean I will lose all the camera's EXIF data (that normally shows if you click Info)?
What about Ratings? One of the big exercises I'm currently currently halfway through - 4,500 photos! - is rating them all - will I lose all the ratings?
When you say drag Originals / Masters to the new Library, what about Modified? Remember, I can see all my edits - they are in the Library, it's just that I can't Revert to Original in many cases. If I don't drag the Modifieds over, won't I lose all my edits? (I'd rather lose the Originals!)
When you say drag the subfolders, they are nested several deep, e.g. 2013 > 09 > 20 > 20130920-193215 > (a bunch of picture files). Do I have to recreate the directory structure, or could I just drag 2013 > 09 in one go, with everything inside it? And would I have to create 2013 folder first, then drag all of 09 into that?
Sorry to fire so many questions at you - it's a big undertaking. (I might find in the long run, that if ever I want an Original back, I should just Open the Package and retrieve it manually, so it duplicates rather than Reverts. It's not something I do except once in a blue moon, so I might decide to live with the current situation... )
Anyway, let me know what you think : it's either undertake this major task, or live without being able to Revert To Original from within iPhoto itself.

Editing photo but still keeping the original

I am new to iphoto and I hope this is not a dumb question. But how do I edit a photo for a project, but till want to retain the original photo? I want to convert several photos to black and white for a project, but I want to also save the original in it's color format. Am I missing something?

Simply, it does it automatically.
When you edit a shot iphoto applies those edits to a copy of the original. If you want to revert then check out the Photos -> Revert to Original command.
If you want the Original side by side in the iPhoto Window then duplicate the photo first and then edit the duplicate. This will give you your Original and an edited version in the iPhoto Window.
If having versions is a big part of your work then check out Aperture, where this is easier to do.

Is it viewable by anyone photos when sharing photo stream by ticking 'Public website'

Hi Guys,
2 questions:
1. Where is the web-address when sharing photo on on photo stream in iPhoto (Mac version) by ticking 'public website'? how can i find it for reference?
2. is it viewable by anyone not invited?
Thanks.
Pedro

When you create and publish a Public Photo Stream and then open it's Info tray in iPhoto the URL to the website will be show in the tray:
It will be viewable by anyone who gets a hold of the URL. You can send the URL to selected recipients but if they share it others can view the photos.
To view a private Photo Stream the recipient must have an Apple ID and an iCloud account. They will receive a notification like this:
Only those who have been invited can view a private Photo Stream.

Edit photo in album without changing original

In iPhoto '08, it seems like any photo that I edit in an album also edits the original. This is why I stopped using one of the earlier versions of iPhoto. It seemed like this was fixed in iPhoto 6, so that iPhoto would automatically preserve the original and save the changes in a copy of the photo.
Is there a setting that can be changed in the preferences somewhere? If I'm working on two albums (i.e. one for each child) I often want to use the same photos but crop them differently, and I'd rather not have to remember to make a copy any time I do so.

No, all occurrences of a photo in the library other than in an event is just an alias of the original or the edited version. Change one and you change all.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Trying to edit photos, when I click anywhere on the lightroom display the screen surrounding the photo goes black

I've been using lightroom for a year or so now. Today I imported some photos and all of a sudden I can no longer to anything in the program. Whenever I click anywhere the screen goes black or white with whatever photo i'm looking at big in the center. I can't edit anything. Please help!!!!!!!!!

Hello Dave,

Printing edited photos on my ipad and iphone camera roll using HP eprint app

I edited and saved photos on my ipad and iphone camera roll. When I use the HP eprint app to print the photos to my HP 5514 Photosmart printer, the edited photo that I select does not show up in the preview, (the original shows up not the saved edited version). I am stumped because in the photo book and on the camera roll the edited version is the only one visible. I don't know what the problem may be. Why is it reverting to the original?

Hi jdanrok,
I did some testing on my iPad and found that after you edit a pic in photos and save it, it will only show the edited version. However, if you go to edit the "edited" photo, you can "Revert to Original", which means it is not really saving the "edited" version, it just "remembers" what you have changed.
When you go into the HP ePrint app, it is only seeing the original, and not the "edited" version.
If you are printing over local wifi (using Airprint) you can actually print the "edited" photo directly from the Photos App by touching the arrow towards the top of the screen and choosing Print.
If you are wanting to use the ePrint app, and you are not on your local wifi (through ePrint), you can email the "edited" photo, save the "edited" photo from the email and it will be just the "edited" version. The old psuedo "edited" version will still be there also.
If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution

Editing photos and deleting original

Hi, I have tried to edit my photos (crop, change colors, etc.) but I always end up with my new edit having replaced my original photo, even if that is not my goal. Do you know of a way where I can both edit my photos and keep the originals?
Moreover, I accidentally deleted an already imported facebook album and it automatically got deleted from facebook as well. Is this something fixable? Can I change the settings so it doesn't automatically delete between the two accounts?
Thanks a lot in advance.

You always have both - in edit mode depress the shift key to see the original - to revert to it right click on a photo and choose revert to original
Moreover, I accidentally deleted an already imported facebook album and it automatically got deleted from facebook as well. Is this something fixable? Can I change the settings so it doesn't automatically delete between the two accounts?
No - keeping iPhoto and the social media sites in sync is a feature of iPhoto - if you do not want that upload directly to the sites using their uploader or Safari rather than using iPhoto

Original photo and edited photo are no longer stacked and appear now as two photo

I have a problem that my edited photos are separated from the original photo so I have two photos side by side. I am afraid to delete the original photo for fear of not being able to open the edited photo but I really do not want to have two photos, one edited photo that looks nice and one unedited photo that is not so nice next to each other in my album. How can I restack these? Also if I bring over the edited photo into Revel will it have the information needed to display the picture?

Saving And "Revert To Original".

I tend to use Photoshop mainly and these queries came up minutes ago with a neighbour:-
1. As iPhoto has no "Save As" function, the "Revert to Original" is very important. Regardless of the number of modifications made to a photo, can you always "Revert to Original" at any time in the future?
2. If that is the case, is it because your modifications do not actually alter the photo but add instructions as to how the computer will deal with it - the same idea as "non-destructive" video editing in Final Cut Express etc.?
3. Assuming my assumption in Q.2 was correct, when you "Revert to Original" are you merely deleting those additional instructions?
4. Once you have "Reverted to Original" is there any way you can recover your modifications - without having to re-edit everything all over again?
Ian.

I have been rooting around in the iPhoto folder and think I have answered my own questions!
It looks as though questions 2 and 3 were based on a wrong assumption. It now appears that when working on a picture all the changes are automatically saved, so you now have 2 copies - the modified one and the original which is moved into an "Original" folder.
When "Reverting to Original", the modified photo is deleted and the original is moved out of the "Original" folder to be with all the other "working" copies.
So it looks as though the answer to question 4 is "No", as the modified photo has been deleted.

IOS8: Option to keep edited photo please.

in IOS7, we can keep both the original photos and edited photos when using iPhoto's editing tool, but this is now disabled.. even if the edited effect are seen in the album, but when i try to cut out to store in hard disk as back up, only original files can be done. all edited photos with effect are not found. only photos edited out of iPhoto can be saved. this is very in-convenience to users who wish to keep all records (ya i know many complaints about take up memories).
May we have option to choose, and controlling this at our wish? since iPhoto provide options on other control such as sharing, auto uploading to iCloud, saving original out of HDR... etc, kindly please also let the users control whether to save all or any or none...?
Thank you.

appreciate your reply
1. i do not see a trashcan iconwhen i open the photos.
2. the photos are NOT in the 'camera roll' they are in a folder called 'iPad photos' (which is in the 'albums' section of the iPad)
3. i have re-set the iPad numerous times in order to try and resolve this. each time it is the same - no trashcan.
4. i have no method of 'moving' the photos to another folder - only the option to 'add to' a 'new folder'. since thsi won't delete the original photos, there is little point in trying this.
5. i'm guessing your next suggestion will be to completely back up and re-set my iPad? is that really what i should be doing here? surely... surely.... please, this should be a simple - select>trashcan>delete process and not something i have to spend half my working day trying to resolve! seriously, seriosly, unimpressed with Apple over this issue. it's about time that Apple gave the power back to the user on devices like these. i can understand now why people jailbreak their iPads... there rant over - but please consider my feelings over this issue.

Problems with saving edited photos using Photoshop Elements 5.0 on WIndows 8.

Since a week I can not save the edited photos - when I try the communicate: "Caould not complete your request because of a program error" appeares. I had no problem with saving edited photos before, with the same software. My computer runs on Windows 8, 64 bit version. My Photoshop Elements is version 5.0. Where is the problem?

Yes, I did it long ago.

After editing a photo, I sometimes get an error message that the "File is empty". Can revert to original and start again, but file disappears after editing.

So frustrating! I open the photo. Edit by cropping, adjusting color, etc. It's perfect. I click DONE and move on to the next. When I come back, the first photo is gone. I can see it in the album but cannot open it. When I look at the file information, it shows zero KB. If I move it to the desktop and try to open it, the error message says the file is empty. I can revert to original and there it is. Edit again, and again it disappears. What am I doing wrong? I am using iPhoto 09

You shooting with a Nikon? We've seen a few examples of this bug with Nikons on 09 and 10.6, with no solution except to upgrade.

IOS 5 overwriting original photo when saving edits

I've recently upgraded to an iPhone 4S running iOS 5 and I think I've found a bug in the Photos app. When a photo is edited and saved in the Photos app, the original photo is overwritten.
I've seen this behavior on three AT&T iPhones (a 4S and two 4s). A friend with a Verizon 4S saw the behavior intermittently - sometimes Photos offered to save the edited version as a copy of the original. I don't know anyone with a 3GS to ask about this behavior.
Anyone else?

I found two ways to restore the original photo: one easy, one stupid.
The easy way: open the photo in iPhoto for editing. Choose the crop tool. This should make the "Revert to original" button activate. Click it to restore the original photo.
The stupid way: open the photo in the Photos app for editing. Choose the crop tool. You should see your original photo with the crop marks showing where you cropped it originally. You can recrop here, if you want. Move the crop marks so the cover the entire photo and touch the Crop button to restore the original photo and save it.
@Dave, do you have an actual "revert to original" button in the Photos app on your iPhone 4? I don't have it on my iPhone 4S. I also don't have the option to save a copy, though I've seen the screen shot in various iOS 5 reviews.

Error message when compiling book "file is corrupt" referring to a photo. Or "cannot find original photo". Can you use photos that have been "edited" out of "Book Mode"?

I did copy it to my desktop, but it still won't let me open it. I think the file on the disc might be corrupt or something like that though the cd itself checks out fine as far as viruses go. I was able to verify the disc, but that's about it. My husband tried it on his iMac and we have the same issue. It's unzipping the folder, but won't let us open the folder on both the Mac Book Pro or the iMac by double clicking, going to file/open or right clicking. It just keeps saying the same message as I posted above. I think I'm just going to have the client put the pictures on either a memory card or a USB memory stick so she won't have to compress the files for zipping purposes. It's been too frustrating trying to open this folder on this cd she gave me. She said she created/zipped the cd on her Mac Book Pro but it sure won't open on mine.
