Q: Cropped photo not staying cropped.
I cropped a picture in Photos (1.5). When I try to use the cropped picture in iMovie, the original (uncropped picture) shows up. Also, if I quit Photos and reopen it, the uncropped version shows up. Any thoughts on getting the cropped photo to stick.

I would test with a new photos library, if cropping is working there. Perhaps your Photos Library needs repairing.
If cropping is working in a new library, repair your current Photos Library: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/index.html#/pht6be18f93
Repair your library
If you experience problems with photos in a library, Photos can try to repair it. If problems persist, you can also restore your library from a Time Machine backup.
Important: You should back up your photo library before repairing your library.
- If Photos is open, choose Photos > Quit Photos.
- Press Option-Command and double-click the Photos icon in the Applications folder (or click the Photos icon in the Dock).The Repair Library window opens.
- Click Repair to rebuild your photo library.
To create a new library for testing quit Photos, then launch it again while holding down the options key. seelct to create a new library. See: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/index.html#/pht6d60b524
