IOS8 this photo is not editable - ?

Updated to IOS8 . Resynced all photos from Iphoto on Mac. When I try to edit a photo, I get a message saying
This photo is not editable
Do you want to duplicate it and edit a copy?
Duplicate and Edit
Why would I want to fill my iPad with Duplicate photos? - selecting the above option does indeed create an editable duplicate of the photo, which is a little pointless surely. FWIW iPhoto for IOS had none of the issues I'm finding with the IOS8 Photos app - really disappointing.
Anyone discovered a reason for this issue?

It's a real pain! My Photos app was so full of duplicated, even triplicated photos that I decided to make a clean sheet of it, so I delelted everything, using the Image Capture program on my iMac (he only Apple.way I could find of delelting all the photos on my iPad at one go), then I synced my iMac and iPad, thereby transferring the photos from iPhoto on the Mac to the iPad. Worked fine, except that now it is quite impossible to edit any of the photos, and that includes those in albums.
I do not use iCloud; I do not use Photo Sharing: everything to do with these is off on both devices.

Must duplicate my photo because "this photo was previously edited with another application..."

I've always used both iPhoto and Adobe Photoshop Elements for editing my photos. Previously, I could edit in the external application (Adobe PE), save the photo (back to iPhoto), go back into iPhoto and then still edit that photo within iPhoto if I wanted to.
Recently, though, if I edit a photo in Adobe PE and save it, if I attempt to edit it further within iPhoto, I am warned: "Image Cannot Be Edited: This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of iPhoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it."
I don't WANT to keep duplicating my photos - it's a stupid waste and I just want to tweak my previously edited photo.
When did iPhoto start requiring duplication in order to edit a photo that had been worked on in another program?
And why?
And is there any way I can change this or get around it?
Thanks.

Where are you seeing these Jpegs when you duplicate the Raw?
Duplications are virtual. Try this test.
Select a Raw and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original
That brings you to the Master file in the iPhoto Library. It's selected.
Apply a label to it - In the Finder: File -> Label.
Now, back to the iPhoto Window and gp Photos -> Duplicate
You now have a second snap in the Event -> My Photo - version 2
Select Version 2 and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original
Notice that it brings you to the same file.
So, you've duplicated the Photo, not the file.

Photo app not editing on iMac - nothing happens when I try to make adjustments or use the filters. Help, please!

mid-2010 iMac, 4GB, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. Thing just seems frozen in Adjustments and Filters, but will Rotate, Crop and occasionally Straighten. Sometimes will Retouch, but not at all times. Any thoughts?

Create a second Photos library, just for testing. To create the test library, hold down the alt/options key while launching Photos. Import a few photos for testing. Can you add adjustments in a new library?
If yes, than you have probably a library corruption. Try to repair the Photos library., but make first a backup copy of the library.
To repair hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhotos application in the Applications folder to launch the Photos Library First Aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear. The select "Repair database".
if no, and the new library does not any work better, the GUI items may not work because of corrupted Preferences files.
The Photos.app stores the preference settings in a file in your hidden User Library. If this file has become corrupted, you can see all kinds of problems with the graphical user interface - missing menu items, etc.
To remove this file, do the following.
Quit Photos, if it is running.
Reveal your user library and delete this folder: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Photos/
To reveal the hidden User Library:
Bring the Finder forward by clicking on the Desktop or the Finder icon in the Dock.
Select your user/home folder (with the house icon in the Finder sidebar)
With that Finder window as the front window, press the key combination ⌘J to bring up the View options.
In the View options panel enable ’Show Library Folder’. That will make your user library folder visible in your Home folder.
Open your Home folder, then the Library folder, then Containers.
Move the complete folder com.apple.Photos to your desktop. Move the entire folder, not just the contents.
Now restart the Mac and try again. If all is well, delete the folder from the Desktop.
Be aware, that removing the Preferences will reset all preferences you set using the Preferences panel in Photos. You will have to set them again. Also, Photos will not remember the location of your Photos library. If the library is not in the default location in your Pictures folder, you have to open it directly by double clicking it.

Photos will not edit on ipad

I have downloaded my photos from macbook to my ipad, but when I come to edit them on the ipad, the edit tag does not work.
advice would be appreciated.

That is my experience as well. I do the editing in my computer before syncing.
Search for Photpad in the Apps store. I think it tis free. Install it and see if it allows you to do what you want. I do know, however, that it will not let you re-name the photo.

Hi Anjohi,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've edited photos on your iPad and only see the original version when you import them to your computer, the tips in this article may help:

Photos does not support external editing like iPhoto. Is there likely to be an upgrade to change this or will I abandon Photos for software that does support editing in Photoshop?

iPhoto does work and there is an upgrade:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

I'm having trouble with the develop module in LR5.4. Any adjustments are taking effect, but only viewable in the filmstrip, not on the main photo. The navigator will go grey, as does the main area too. This applies to all edits done in develop module. I have posted several times on the forum with no responses to address this, and have seen others with the same issue. I have even gone as far as to do a complete re-install of LR5, with no success. I'm at a loss, and I depend on it for so much editing. Please help.

It seems you lack the rights to change the file, so you may want to repair permissions.
Do you have administrator rights?

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I can't make any changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong?

Am I downloading them from my camera wrong? I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel.

Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.
Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer.

My edited photos will not display when clicked on, a large triangle with exclmation comes up

my edited photos will not display when clicked on, instead a large grey area comes up wiht a triangle /exclamation sign.

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Photo will not open to edit...get a triangle error

photo will not open to edit...get a triangle error

This indicates a disconnect between the Thumbnail and the original
this can be caused by two things
1 - User action deleting items from inside the iPhoto library - can be directly - can be from the All images list (never delete from there) - can be from running cleanup software like MacKeeer, CleanMac2 or other dangerous, defective software that improperly deletes or changes things in the to library - if you have done any of these things you must restore your backup from before you ran them and damaged your iPhoto library - and I recommend getting rid of them ASAP (although being essentially MalWear it is not easy)
2 - corruption of the iPhoto library - IIf it is not #1 then Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your database

Check for .dll files
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
Reboot your computer.
Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
Best of luck,

1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.

In preparation for merging two iPhoto libraries with Aperture, I ran "repair database" as suggested above by léonie in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4998390?tstart=0
After chugging for a while, iPhoto puts up a modal dialog box saying:
1293 photos have been found in the iPhoto library that are not a part of this photo library.
Would you like to import them?
What does this mean?
- nello

I re-ran the the repair on a backup of my library and chose "yes" on the import of of the found pictures.
Unfortunately, the saved pictures included both original and edited images and the import did not re-assemble them into just a single entry.
For example, I have a two pictures of a portico ceiling, the original (with an ID of P1010071_2) and another (P1010071) which is the same except that iPhoto's "Enhance" Quick Fix has been applied.
Is there any way rejoin the original (P1010071_2) and fixed images(P1010071) into a single entry?

Any edited photos are not viewable ...

I've already posted once ... no luck with an answer. Some of my photos will not export to websites such as Facebook, Flickr or Walgreens. Edited photos can be seen in an album, but once you click on them, the screen turns black. If you try to load them onto any website or disc (or if you remove them from iphoto and drag onto your desktop) there is a pop-up that says the file is EMPTY. I've lost a ton of edited photos that I needed for a project. PLEASE HELP me figure this out. Very frustrated with iphoto.

See my reply to your other post.
