Hi , when I edit photos via Mac Photos it does reduce a pic size significantly. Original photo size was 14Mb. If I just readjust light or color settings a little bit, size goes down to 2Mb. This really doesn't make any sense. Kindly advise .
MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15
How are you checking the size of the edited version? And what kind of image file are you exporting?
If you just drag the photo from Photos to the Desktop, you will get a preview of the edited version, but cannot control the quality and resolution.
To save the edited version at a high quality, use "File > Export > ... Photos" and select Original size and a high quality.

Straight to the point! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Another question if I may - "Color profile" what is the difference between options and which one to use ? I'm assuming someone already asked the question so if you have a link to it - that would be great!
As to the color profile - when in doubt, use the option "most Compatible" or "Original". It will only matter, if your photo has been externally edited and the editor added a proprietary color profile, that may be incompatible with macOS X or if you want to use the photo outside the Mac universe.
