Hi chris-nunn,

When you edit photos in Photo gallery, it saves a copy of the original in the original photo folder if it has been set to do so.

Please check it at File (or Alt+F) > Options > originals

Hope this helps. Thanks.

    Brilliant, works a treat.

    Next time I will make a copy of all pictures and edit the copy. You don't see anything wrong with this do you ?

    I'm not worried about storage. I will copy to disc and erase from computer.

    Thanks again, Chris.

    Original photos were in a folder in photos.

    When I edited photos I added an extra letter to the end of image number then saved.

    This changed the image in the folder to the edited image. I wanted to keep edited and unedited copies.

    Thanks for your help, hope you can help me further.

    Best wishes, Chris.

    Hi Chris,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Communities. I will be glad to assist you with the issue.

    Where are the original photos saved?

    To save the edited photos, you have to just close the edited photo and Windows will prompt you to either save, don’t save or cancel. Choose save and select a desired location to save the photos.

    You need not save the original photo when photos are already in the computer. If the original photos are not in the computer, then you can save the photo by pressing Windows key + letter S.  By doing this Windows will prompt you to either save, don’t save or cancel. Choose save and select a desired location to save the photos.

    If Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 is installed in your computer, then refer the link http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/editing-photos

    Please do reply for any further help.
