Keep original photo after editing in photos?

Is it possible keep the original photo after I edit it in the photos app? So I would end up with the original photo I took and the edited version.

Hi AFRJ,

Edits that you make to photos are nondestructive, meaning that you can always click "Edit" on the altered version and choose "Revert" to go back to the straight-out-of-the-camera shot. If you want to keep two copies, though, just go to the image, tap the sharing arrow, and then choose "Duplicate" before you make any edits. Then you can change one version of the picture and leave the other one intact.

Hope that helps!
