  1. Photo Save Location after editing


    Greetings: for a few months now, there has been a change in where my photos go after I edit them with the windows 10 photo app. In the past, when I used to click on the save as icon, the system responded with a dialogue box that allowed me to choose the place where I want to save the photo. The new method does not ask me where I want to save the photo. The new method just places the edited photo inside the folder that housed the photo, even back on an external memory card or harddrive. Is there any manner to go back to choosing the location after I conduct an edit?

    :)

    Photo edits and saving

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and frustration you have been through. I will be glad to assist you.

    Please answer these questions to assist you better.

    1. What is the file format of the Photo?

    2. Have you installed all pending updates?

    3. Are you able to download and save photos from browser?

    4. Is the issue is particular to edited photos?

    5. Are you logged in as Admin?

    6. In which location are you trying to save picture?

    I suggest you to save picture to Desktop and check if that helps

    I suggest you to install any pending updates on the pc to check if that helps. Updates are additions to software that can help prevent or fix problems, improve how your computer works, or enhance your computing experience.

    • If you can't save a photo in Photo Gallery, one of the following reasons might be the cause:

    • The photo properties attribute is set to Read-only. To change a photo’s read-only property, right-click the photo and select Properties. Under the General tab, in the Attributes group, uncheck Read-only, and then click Apply.

    • The photo is stored in a read-only location like shared network file, a CD or DVD, or other location where you can’t change its properties. To save a copy of a photo to your PC where you can edit it, double-click the photo and then, on the Edit tab, in
    the Manage group, click Make a copy. Select a file type, choose a location on your PC to save the photo, and then click Save.

    • The photo is an unsupported file type. Photo Gallery can't open or edit all photo file types. To save a copy of photo and change it's file type to a format that you can edit, double-click the photo and then, on the Edit tab, in the Manage group, click
    Make a copy. Select a file type, and then click Save.

    • The photo might have been deleted or moved after you selected it for editing. Restore the photo to its original location, and then try to edit the photo again.

    Boot into Safe Mode and check are you able to save.

    Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10.

    Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Thanks

  3. Automatic Update Made Photo Editing Not Work Correctly

    This is NOT solved--just fixed.
    Microsoft ran an automated update a couple of days ago and now photo editing is not working the way it did previously. I shoot a lot of photos for a local news website and after editing, saved them with new names that help me sort--so, for example, football photos might be F1, f2, etc. After the update, when i edit a photo, it saves only as a copy of the original name (IMG4028, for example, so I get IMG4028(2). Only after I do that, do I get the "save as" option back, which means i either give up my naming convention or have two or more copies of everything.
    Any suggestions? The "save as" option does not appear in the first step anymore.

    ADDED: It's the software that came bundled with the Windows 10 Edge computer--it's just the Photos app.

    Thank you.

  4. Photo Save Location after editing

    Cannot edit images when saved in Fresh paint

    Hi Kamila,

    As per the information, I understand that when you save an image drawn in Fresh Paint, you are unable to edit the image once saved.

    If the above is true, I suggest that you follow the steps below to save the image in a manner that will allow you to edit it.

    • To save your painting right click on fresh paint and click on
      Save as
      . You will get an option to select the location.
    • Select the location and save the painting.
    • When you reopen fresh paint you will be on the painting you used before closing fresh paint. If you do not get the painting, you may click on image and go to the location and select the image to edit.

    For added information on Fresh Paint refer to the FAQ below

    Fresh Paint FAQ....

    Note: Also applies to 10

    Hope this helps

    Regards
