Keeping original photo after edit it?

I have the iphone 5c. When I edit a photo using the photos app, like cropping it, the original photo disappears and only the edited photo is still there. Sometimes though I want to keep the original along with the cropped photo. I have the same problem when I use iphoto. Is there any way to keep the original photo as well as the edited one?

Edward,
I believe to prevent the renaming of your original files you'll need to go to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>General and uncheck Keep iTunes Music folder organized.

Transfer photos from iPhoto (iOS) to iPhoto Mac, keeping original photo when edited?

I've been on a vacation and used iPhoto on my iPad Mini to save and edit a few pics on the go. I want to transfer these photos to my Mac (iPhoto), but I also wan to keep the original photo for the edited ones. This is very easy for iOS devices as you can transfer them wirelessly between the devices, but I haven't found a similar way between my iOS device and the Mac. I can transfer the pictures either via iTunes or the camera roll, but both these ways only transfers the edited picture, not the original. Any one knows?

Use iOS 6.0.1 on your device and a computer running Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8.x) and the latest version of iPhoto.
With iCloud and PhotoStream turned on, photos shared to the Camera Roll or taken with the device are copied to your PhotoStream. When you start iPhoto on your Mac you'll see a PhotoStream selection in the left column your Camera Roll Photos will be there. Copy them to the albums you want to store them in or export them to other folders on your computer for back up.

What happens to the original photo after editing? Does it get replaced by the edited photo?

I just bought my first iPhone(5). On Android, when editing a photo, the original stays in your gallery and the edited photo gets placed right next to it. So what I want to know is, When editing a photo in the photo app, what happens to the original since it would be nice to be able to make different edits of it.

That is an excellent question. This is definitely not the programmed behavior of Photoshop Elements. Normally, when you edit a file, a new copy of the file is created (the original is simply left alone). This new copy of the file will have "_edited-1" added to the end of the name. It should definitely not be adding $ to the name at all.
Just as a test, create a new user account on your computer, and try editing another image to see if does the same thing there. However, I suspect there is another application on your computer that is modifying how files are saved, deleted, and renamed.

Edited photos in iOS show original photo after import or in iPhoto for MAC

If I edit a photo using the Photos app (or one the filter integrated now with Photos app) and then import that photo to my Mac (both using iphoto or import) or PC (both using import or with cloud photo integration), and sometimes if i try to view the photo using another iOS app, the photo display the original, unedited version.
the only way seems to duplicate the picture or to send it by mail.
but when you have hundreds of pics, that is not a solution any more..
and most of all i don't even want to import both the original and the edited version.
i found this issue in an apple support page: below the link..
but that page doesn't offer a solution one most of all it says that iphoto shouldn't have the issue...
can you help me?
thanks

Use File >> Save As
Choose a different file name so as not to overwrite the original and don't save any changes when closing the original.

How long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping?

Is there any time limit for how long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping? Are you always able to revert back?
Thanks.

DAM = "Digital Asset Manager", a fancy name for a filing system.
iPhoto keeps the original and makes one (usually much smaller) copy based on your edits. It is non-destructive in that if you crop, and later change the color, iPhoto will go back to the original and apply the corrections to get the new image, it will not simply modify the preview.
If you want a high quality copy of the image, use the export function which allows you to specify the size and compression.

In iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

in iphoto, how do i save a photo after editing, in the same or higher file size, it's saves in a lower size

It's rather more complicated that this.
iPhoto is a lossless editor. You don't lose any quality on your shot in iPhoto.
The file size you see reported is the size of your iPhoto Preview: this is what gets used if you access the data via a media browser. It's a "good-enough-for-most-uses" version of the shot. Email it, upload to websites, use it in Presentation, Word processing file etc
If you want to set the quality yourself then Export the photo using the File -> Export command.
You can choose to export to Jpeg, Tiff or png. Tiff is lossless but the file sizes are up to 10 times larger. Jpeg allows you to choose different qualities: High, Medium or low. The difference is the amount of compression involved. High quality means very little compression. It's not unusual for photos exported at this setting to have a larger file size than the original.
Which setting you choose depends on the use you intend. Further editing, printing then high is important. Sending to Facebook? Well low will do just fine there as they're going to trash the file anyway.
But the key point: the file size only becomes an issue when you export.

TS4253 Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps

Hello
I used my iPad mini while travelling on holidays for transferring photos from my camera to iPad (thanks to USB adaptor) then editing these pictures on the Photos App or iPhoto App. I also organized all my pictures on folders on the Photos App, and I now want to transfer them to my MacBookPro.
I currently face 2 issues :
- if I transfer these photos from iPad to MacBook with USB cable, all the pictures on iPhoto on my MacBook appear original and not edited! Even if y try to send by email/Dropbox etc a few edited pictures, they appear as original and not edited
- I can transfer all the pictures together on iPhoto of my MacBook, but loose the organisation in folder that I have on the iPad.
So far I'm very upset because I've lost time editing and classifying my pict on the iPad...
Any ideas ??

Really frustrating I know.
I did find this link on Apple support,
support.apple.com/en-us/HT203612
However, I'm still having an issue in spite of what it apparently informs:
"Displaying the edited photo requires OS X v10.9 or later and software that can read XMP. The following applications support XMP:
iPhoto 9.5 or later
iPhoto for iOS..."
I don't know what to do with this information because I am running OS X version beyond v10.9 and also later than iPhoto 9.5, yet iPhoto does not appear to read the XMP edits performed on my phone and keep them or give the option in iPhoto to keep edits or revert to the original. Non destructive editing is great, but it'd be nice to access applied edits!

Keeping images full size when uploading from "Photos" after editing

Is there any way that I can edit photos in the ”Photos” app and keep what I have edited and also keep them full size when I upload them Flickr?

Highlight the images you wish to export.
Ctrl-Shift-E to open the export dialog.
Change the top drop-down list to Hard Drive.
Choose a location for the files in the Export Location section.
Adjust file naming if necessary.
In the File Settings section make sure you have the correct output format selected and choose a quality (85 is fine for most things and keeps file size manageable).
Make file size changes as appropriate in the Image Sizing section.
If you are downsizing a lot then consider adding some output sharpening.
Click Export.
Hopefully that covers most things.

Discarding photos after editing

In most cases I have no need for photos in their original state after they have been edited in the library (rotate, delete, crop, etc.). It seems that the pictures still reappear in backups or copies from the OS X Picture folder.
Is there an efficient way to delete the pictures so that they don't reappear in the iphoto library of this or any other computer that the pictures are moves to?
(Except for the obvious go find the pix in the OS X folder and delete one by one)
Thanks much.

Hi, rick. No, there isn't any way to dispose of the originals if you want to organize your photos with iPhoto. iPhoto keeps all your originals at all times. If you use the Finder to delete originals from the iPhoto Library folder, you will corrupt your iPhoto Library, and iPhoto won't work.
If you don't want to keep originals, don't use iPhoto.

Not keeping original photos

From what I have searched what I want to do is not possible but I am asking anyways.
Is there a way to make modifications to a photo and tell iPhoto to make it the original? Mainly the only modified photos I have are ones I've needed to rotate so there is no reason I would ever need to revert back to the sideways photo. Already my iPhoto library is 14+ GB and I am looking for ways to reduce its size.....
Thanks.
iPhoto 08 v7.1.5

If you are using iPhoto 08 when you edit the photo and click done, it replaces the original with the edited version.
this is incorrect - iPhoto '08 always keeps he original and when you make any edit of any sort it creates a modified version - each successive edit is applied to the original so you never are more than one version away from the original but the original is never replaced or modified - it is always maintained and there is no option to do otherwise.

Blurry photos after editing

Why do my photos look blurry after editing in PSE11? They look fine in PSE and when I view the .Jpeg but when I go to upload them onto my blog, they look horrible and blurry.

I have a similar issue. I had photoshop elements 8 or 9 and made a brochure last year. Photos came out sharp and clear. This year i upgraded to PSE11. I am using some of the same exact photos but when I did a test print, or enlarged it on the screen, it was blurry and pixilated. I made sure the original photo was at least 1MB, most are 2 or 3 MB. I played with size and dpi, they looked fine on the screen but yet when I made a layer and placed it in the brochure, it's blurry. I'ved tried resizing image in PSE11 but that doesn't seem to help and i need help

How/where do I save photos after editing in DxO Pro?

Previously I have used iPhoto for all my photo storage/editing, but have just started using DxO Pro9 as my external editor, btu am confused as to what to do with the newly edited images. Exporting to Application does not work as iphoto cannot read the file. Exporting to original folder (uising the RAW image from the Masters sub-folder to start with) does not seem to show in the previews, back in iPhoto. Best I've managed so far is exporting to desktop, then dragging back into iPhoto, so it is imported again, but this means everything get duplicated doubling the amount of disk space used. Any suggestions, please?

If DxO Pro9 is a photo editor then set it as the external editor and when finished editing save (not save as) to return the image to iPhoto - other wise you have to save to the desktop and reimport giving your multiple copies
And what ever you do stop directly accessing the contents of the iPhoto library - it is not supported and will cause you problems - as an external editor you can choose in the iPhoto preferences to use the RAW - but if you do then you still have to save to the desktop and reimport the edited photo
supported access to your photos is described here - How to Access Files in iPhoto

Aperture vs iphoto quality of photos after editing

I heard that Aperture mantains the same resolution/quality after modifications. What about iPhoto?

Have you asked that question in the Aperture forum? Unless Aperture converts the jpgs to another format upon editing, i.e. tiff, any edit to a jpg file will result in some re-compression.
Adobe Bridge creates tiff files of all jpgs that are edited. Bloats the HD but is lossless.
Unless you perform many subsequent edits on the same file, it's hard to see the difference between the original and the edited version, resolution wise that is.

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?
