Hey Twinz507,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. After editing a photo, you'll need to upload it as a new file to save it to iCloud Photos again.


Note: If you edit a photo or video on your Windows computer, those edits don’t appear on your Apple devices or on iCloud.com. If you want the edited file added to iCloud Photos, upload it as a new file.


The above information and more can be found here: Download and view iCloud Photos on your Windows computer - Apple Support


Take care!
