Exported images don't show retouches Am using macOS Photos 7.0 on Monterey 12.1. Computer is a 2015 Macbook Pro 13" & Monterey was installed via fresh installation (format/erase). I import images in the Photos app (using the import tool or dragging them into Photos from Finder) and make edits I need (example: crop, adjust lighting, retouching blemishes, etc.). When I export the images, all edits are shown on the exported photos except anything done with the retouch tool. I can't for the life of me get any retouches to appear on the exported jpg files. I did not have this issue using older versions of macOS or Photos. Does anyone know of a fix?

Exporting Photos Causes Duplicates and Missing Images I backup my images to my desktop using the Photos app. In the Photos app I select the images I want (about 100-150 at a time) and go to File -> Export. I then use File Naming to name my project's images in sequential order. I've been doing this for several months but recently two things have been happening. Images are duplicated several times Some of the selected images don't get exported at all This doesn't appear to be random because if I try exporting again just about the same images get duplicated and the same images are missing. Oddly enough, when I drag the photos I selected from the Photos app to my desktop folder all of them appear, none are duplicated.

Photos dragged from iMac Photos to desktop won't upload If I drag a photo from the Photos App onto the iMac desktop it deposits a JPEG file, with the extension .jpeg. I do this to (eg) upload photos to a web site, or email them to non-Apple users. But the JPEG file is rejected by websites like Gumtree, Snapfish etc and unreadable by other users. If I change the extension to .jpg it is still not usable. To make it usable I have to open it with Preview and export it as JPEG, in which case the resulting file has extension ".jpg" and is usable. On the other hand, if I export it from the Photos App using File > Export, as JPEG, it creates a file with extension ".jpeg" which is uploadable, but with a different colour profile and 5 times the size! Does anyone know why the drag to desktop from Photos creates a jpeg file incompatible with non-Apple devices? I cannot find any setting for Photos to change the jpeg format it creates on export.

Try, open finder - go to menu in the finder>show view options, then minimise the finder window so you are just seeing the desktop and the view options and deselect and then reselect "show icon preview"

No did not help - it works for PDF etc but not the photos. This only happened since I installed Monterey. I suspect there is a link. I also have the common problem with my screensaver not working since the loading Monterey

Try booting into safe mode. Does that fix it? If so reboot normally.

Regarding screesaver - someone posted a bug yesterday that it is just broken.

Not sure what you mean. Perhaps a screenshot will help

(Cmd-shft-4 - drag a box - it will be saved to your desktop)
