I'm sorry. How did you copy the picture-- did you use "Duplicate?" Or did you use "Copy?"


"Copy" temporarily puts the image on the clipboard, and then you can go to Messages or Mail, for instance, and choose Paste to add the picture.


If you Duplicate a picture, the you may find it in Recently Saved, or at the end of the Library when it's sorted by Date added. If the library is sorted by Date Created, then the duplicated and original pictures will be side by side.


Or did you mean something else? Let us know…
