Live photo duplicate as still photo gives strange result when editing Hi, on iPhone6 I had a Live photo, chose different Key frame, then chose "Duplicate as still photo" - then I opened the duplicated photo to crop it. But when I Edit that photo, it suddenly changes to what I assume was the original key frame. How is that possible? I thought when I "Duplicate as still photo" that it would save ONLY the chosen key frame??

Live Photos lose their vibrancy when taking a screenshot or sending Hi all, I have a beautiful photo that was originally a live photo converted to a still image in the native Photos app. It appears that the ONLY thing I can do to this photo and keep it looking the same is duplicating it. Trying to share, make wallpaper, post to Instagram, and even screenshot results in the photo looking washed out and completely different. When I click the share icon I can see the photo change before my eyes. It is a very clear difference and when I look at the original photo and screenshot side-by-side, the screenshot looks completely washed out. Unfortunately I can't even post the photos to show the difference because of this issue. I have a screen recorded video that shows the difference but cannot upload a video to this forum. Any advice would be appreciated. I tried changing the "options" menu when exporting but it didn't seem to make a difference. It makes me really sad because this is one of my favorite pictures but I can't even make it my wallpaper without losing a lot of the magic.
