when editing a photo in the Photos app there is a little symbol/icon immediately to the left of Revert to Original. I can’t see what it does, hoped it would be split view, original and edited, but it doesn’t seem to do anything. Appreciate an explanation. Thanks
MacBook Air, macOS High Sierra (10.13)
Try to apply an edit that you can easily see, for example, apply a crop or similar. Then click the button "Show photo without adjustments" and you should be seeing the effect.
If not, there may be something wrong with your library. Did you ever run any cleaning applications to remove duplicates? Some of them are dangerous and may have removed the unedited originals.
That button toggles the image between the original image and the edited image. It doesn't appear unless the photo has been edited.
Then either both buttons are dead, or the photo has no adjustments.
I just noticed, that with Photos 3.0 on macOS 10.13.4 the the button "Show photo without adjustments" will work only for adjustments applied with the Adjustment panel, not for crop and straighten, at least in my library.
Test with a true adjustment. For example, turn Black & White" on. Can you now toggle the color off and on with the button "Show photo without adjustments" ?

I can confirm that. That button only works for Adjust and Filters.

Do you remember, OT, if it previously worked for the straighten tool as well? If I remember correctly, I could previously view the original version in Edit mode, independent of the kind of edits. Now even the "M" key does no longer show the original image in Edit mode, if the image has been cropped and straightened.
It looks like a bug to me. I have to use "Image > Duplicate one photo from Original ⇧⌥⌘D" to see the original, without the cropping and straightening.
I’m very new to this having only recently escaped from the nightmare world of Windows 10 by buying a MacBook. But from watching YouTube videos I’d expected to have the option to have the original and the in edit images side by side.
Apologies, you’re right, getting my videos mixed up. I think the guy was doing Command D to duplicate the photo. To the left was a sort of dock with tiny thumbnails so if he wanted to see it without adjustments he just clicked on the thumbnail. At every stage he did a duplicate before the next adjustments. I think this was in Photos app?
Thanks. I thought that may be what it was supposed to do but it doesn’t seem to work in mine. I’ll have another go.

OK I e tried that but no, it doesn’t do anything. I’ve never run any software on the Photos app, no duplicate remover nor anything else. Baffled
Does your photo at least change, when you click "revert to Original"?
No, not at all No change
Ahhhh. Now if I click on the button, nothing. But if I click and hold the click down, yes it works. Thank you so much
i do not know what you watched, but in Photos it has never been posible to view bogh the original and the edited version side by side in the editor
It used to be this way in Photos 1.0 and 2.0. But this bar with thumbnails to the left is gone in Photos 3.0.
Now we only have the small strip with parts of the thumbnails below the edit window.
What is this icon in Photos edit
