Help Samsung Gallery - Creates duplicate when edit photos

[_steveb83]

Hi all,

In my Samsung Gallery app, whenever I edit a photo (crop, apply filter etc.) the new image will be saved as the most recent picture in my gallery timeline whilst the original will stay in its original location.

Is there a way to ensure that either a) the editied image supersedes the original picture with a option to revert to original or b) save the new edited version next to the original at the same timeline place.

For example, I have several pictures taken 6 months ago when travelling, however I would like to edit only a couple. Once I have finished editing the ones which needed attention, the new versions will now be saved as if they were taken today making it very difficult to manage timelines and if I wanted to play a slideshow of the time travelling, the updated pictures are not with the originals.

I've recently moved from IOS to Android and this is perhaps something I took for granted on the IOS system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thansk

Specifically ... what device are you using? /// what application are you using on that device?

Thanks Thom.

I am using the Samsung Edge S7 and the stock Samsung Gallery app. I also have Google Photo's as a back-up/cloud option however I quite like the editing tools within the Samsung gallery app. Happy to use something else if it will solve the original issue though

I was hoping someone who edits on their S7 Edge would chime in but no one has.

I use a Droid Turbo 2 and take pictures with Camera JB+. I never edit images on my phone. I connect the phone to my Windows 7 workstation and edit the images with Corel Paint Shop Pro X9. I save the edited images by overwriting the original and do not encounter the problem you pose.
