Apple Photos App Not Exporting Edited Photos Correctly

OS Monterey 12.4 2018 MacBook Pro

Photos app will not export edited photos with edits. It only exports the original unedited photo! What's up with that?

What system version are you running. It's working for me.


Try the following;


1 - As a test launch Photos with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it? This tells us if the problem is limited to your current library or is more wide spread.


2 - Log into a new, basic, admin user account, Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac and repeat #1 tosee if the problem persists. This tells us if the problem is limited to your user account or is system wide.

Of course, I know the difference when exporting, duh! Anyway, it’s the “retouch” edits that are not getting exported. I found another thread where the workaround, until Apple fixes this glitch, is to just drag the image to the desktop and that will export it with the retouch and all other edits intact. If you export it through the File Menu it will not export it with the retouch edits!

But thanks for responding.
