Duplicated photos in Apple Photos Mac app "cannot be opened because they do not exist".
Hello, I have come across this glitch that has seemingly no workaround.
In Apple Photos, you can duplicate a photo. I need to do this so that I have two different aspect ratios of the same photo (and I edit all of my iPhone DNG and HEIC photos using Apple Photos on Mac).
When I first duplicate a photo, everything works fine. If I then edit that new duplicate in any way, two things happen: 1) the image becomes super low resolution. 2) The image can no longer be exported into a jpg in the finder. Doing so produces an error message saying that the "image doesn't exist". (Screenshot attached)
I have turned off all iCloud Photos settings on all of my devices (since I thought that was the original problem); the issue still happens 100% of the time.
I'm running macOS Monterey 12.5; if this issue is fixed in Ventura, I will update my OS. But I don't want to update the OS if the issue still persists.
If anybody can help me then I cannot thank you enough!! Have a good day, everyone!
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.5
