Nov 18, 2013 8:47 AM in response to Dadius Maximusby léonie,How do I keep a copy of the original photo in the camera roll and add the edited photo as a seperate photo?
Duplicate the photo before you edit it.
- In the Photos.app you can create duplicates by using "Share > Copy".
- In iPhoto you you save a copy of your edited Photo to the Camera Roll by "Share > Apps > Camera Roll. Save it before you edit the photo, to preserve the original in the Camera Roll. Or revert the original after duplicating it.

Nov 18, 2013 9:15 AM in response to léonieby Dadius Maximus,When I "Share > Copy" in the Photos.app (photo is selected with checkmark) nothing happens. No duplicate is shown. No duplicate is seen in iPhoto either.
"Share > Apps > Camera Roll" worked in iPhoto before photo is edited.
After photo is edited, I can view the original (toggle button on top right when in landscape) but when I click "share" when viewing original it immediately reverts back to edited photo.
Since this is Apple and iPhoto I'm assuming there must be an easier way to do this.

Nov 18, 2013 9:26 AM in response to Dadius Maximusby Dadius Maximus,Think I came up with a decent solution. Maybe this is what Leonie was suggesting I do.
- Open the photo in iPhoto
- Edit the photo
"Share > Apps > Camera Roll" (edited version will be saved as a seperate photo in Camera Roll) - Click the 3-dots icon in lower right (landscape mode)
- Click "revert" (image goes back to original in iPhoto AND Camera Roll)
I am left with a copy of the original AND a copy of the edited-original in my Camera Roll .

Try this work-around:
(depending on skill level)
Copy a photo, to a Stickies (cmd+spacebar - type: sitckies): it will give you it's location.
Click on finder in the dock (Happy Blue Square face guy) > then top of the screen Grey bar with Finder in Bold > click on Go
Then - Go to Folder - [alternatively keyboard shortcut Shift+Cmd+G (all 3 at the same time)]
It opens a text box in a finder window> paste the photo location in there. > Go > there you can COPY - ONLY! the photo into a new folder on the desktop or in FAVORITES > Pictures,
You can then import the new folder to iPhoto. > Edit the photos from the new album only so as to keep iPhoto happy with the ordering
Navigate the Finder window to add photos to the new folder
The address should look a bit like this:
/Users/[user-name]/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Previews/[seriesofidentifiernumbers]/[photoname].jpg

Important Edit - Remember to Modify the file name in the new album BEFORE importing back to iPhoto. It will confuse it less.

iLifeThat are great suggestions,and they will work well in iPhoto on Mac, but the question was about iPhoto on an iPad, not iPhoto on a Mac. Your Mac has no camera roll - iPhoto on a Mac is a completely different program.

Dec 30, 2014 6:35 AM in response to Luis Fer Torresby Moosbrugger,For iPhoto on a Mac, is the easy answer to go to "Photo" in the file menu and then "Duplicate"?

Jan 4, 2016 9:53 AM in response to Luis Fer Torresby jicms,Thanks Luis. I edited my pic in photo stream which asked me to "duplicate and edit" which worked. So simple when you know how! I have never used photo stream (just use camera roll) and didn't even know it's purpose.
Just realised this is a 2 yr old thread but still relevant I suppose.
