Glitch in Photos when cropping in edit mode (Macbook Pro)

Hello,


Photos: Versión 2.0 (3150.4.120)

MAC OS: Sierra 10.12.4


When i crop a photo it breaks badly: the result is a photo completely messed up, sometimes black background and/or with several broken replicas of the photo. Sometimes is mixed up with other photo of the library. The effect can be seen just after pressing "ok" in the thumbnail in the edit view and sometimes in the preview just after make the cropping.

Until now it happens with jpg files.


I think this is a bug, i couldn't find much about it in the web.

Is this bug acknowledge by apple?, is there a way to fix it?

This is the result after exporting, in the Phtos app is the same.


Regards

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.4)

I did not read through all the comments, so I hope I'm not being repetitive here.


I have been online and on the phone with Apple, and they gave me a workaround for the issue for now. They are working on the problem, and hope to have a Photos update (possibly) sometime this fall.


Take the photo with the messed up thumbnail, go into Edit and hit rotate ONCE. From there, push Control and hit the rotate icon again, once, to reverse the image back. It worked great for me on the photos I had issues with. I have had problems with photos taken with both of my Canon Rebels, my iPhone photos that were air-dropped, as well as photos that were imported from a back-up hard drive.


Hope the workaround gives you some results until we get the new version. I miss iPhoto! :-(User uploaded file
