I take a photo and save to Google photos, then edit it to enhance the photo. Each time I do this, it asks me to save a copy instead of updating the photo itself which is quite frustrating and annoying sheen you have loads of photos to edit.
My iPhone 7 doesn't ever do this!
Currently I take photos on the S10e, upload them to Photos, then edit them on my iPhone.
Any ideas?

You have HEIC setting on in the photo settings and it does it when you edit photos with .heic ending.
Turn it off for JPEG and it should work. I think it's limitation of Google Photos app.
Thanks for that. Will leave HEIC enabled as it backs my photos up to the Google Cloud in high resolution without using any storage space similar to iPhones.
I'll just amend the photos from my iPhone.

Well, don't count it will stay like this https://www.macrumors.com/2019/10/21/google-photos-heic-format-bug-fix-coming/
Ahh that sucks! It'll take Google a while to release a fix as usual. They work very slowly with things like this.
They haven't even released a fix for the eyes closed face unlock embarrassment on their Pixel 4! [emoji23]

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I deleted mediascape since i never used it. Since then i cannot "share / upload" images directly from the native camera app. Once a photo has been taken i hit the share button l but nothing happens? Anyone else delete MS and have this problem? Not an issue when using Vignette, but it is just sooo much slowerat processing pics that i tend to use it for planned photos only.

I'm wondering if anyone using Camera Upload on dropbox has found a way to get those pictures into an IOS photo stream. Thanks to Plex, I can view pictures from my phone on my Apple TV but I'd like to have them in iPhoto with little to no work from me.
I hate that Apple has these nifty toys but closes them off unless you use an iPhone.
If it's unpossible I'll get over it.
Shot in the dark here but can't you add the dropbox folder into iPhoto?

iPhoto doesn't monitor folders for changes, which is really really dumb imho

You have probably already tried this. But have you tried to add the uoad folder to iphoto, not sure how the program works. But with windows apps you can just add a folder to be watched.

I figured it out. I used a Folder Action to monitor the Camera Uploads dropbox folder and then push photos found into iPhoto and then photo stream.
So I decided to sync my pictures to my google + account using the new google photos app and I have a few questions regarding this:
1. Does everyone get to see photos that are in my circle, or are the pictures back up there just for my viewing?
2. Is it secure?
3. I was really just hoping to try this out and have some pictures of my x mas tree "auto awesomed". So far nothing happened. Is there anything else I can do to force it?
I guess I am just looking for more information about the whole G+ photo syncing. I didn't like the idea at first, but I do have a lot of android devices and it would be cool to always have access of all of my pictures versus just the ones on the device. Any information / tips would be greatly appreciated.
I was hoping to have some pictures of my Christmas tree turn into a GIF like the one in this link

1. The images are only for you unless you share them
2. It is secure as Google+ photos
3. What kind of auto awesome photos are you trying to get? The snow/tree sparkle ones need you to upload the proper photo. I have noticed that it can take 5-10 minutes for them to appear

Thanks for the reply. I posted a pic of my xmas tree with the lights on and was hoping to get the auto awesome sparkle effect. Guess Google doesn't like my tree
It just seems like it might take awhile for Google to detect my photos and have auto awesome work its magic. I backed up 300+ photos and not one set of similar photos has been recognized.
It's probably safe but I don't like the idea of uploading my camera to a social network, even if they are hidden from the public. So I use dropbox camera upload.
Hi all, this is my first post to XDA forums, I've been a lurker for a while now but I can't seem to find the help I need so I decided to post.
I recently got my Nexus 5 coming from a Nexus S, and I've been trying to migrate all my photos and videos (~700 files) taken on my N2 to my N5 but no matter what methods I've tried I cannot seem to preserve the date that the photos and videos were taken, leading to a jumbled gallery on my N5.
I've tried using copying through USB (both dragging and dropping from the N2 into the N5, and copying onto the computer (preserves date modified/taken) then onto the N5), WiFi transfer apps, Bluetooth and LocalSync. I'm not proficient enough to experiment with adb so I haven't tried that yet.
My N2 is rooted and running CyanogenMod 9.0.0 and my N5 is rooted but running stock KitKat 4.4.2 and I am running Windows 7 64-bit, if any of this helps.
Any help would be appreciated!

How about uploading everything to the cloud and then downloading to the N5? Although, if all your stuff is in the cloud, you don't really need it on the phone.

I just tried using box storage, and it still doesn't preserve the metadata and instead changed the date modified on my N5 to sometime in 1970... :\
I'd prefer it on the phone itself so I can access it offline as I usually have my mobile data turned off (small data allowance) and am not often in range of a wifi signal

Ah, in that case, my idea wouldn't work.
So, if I understand correctly, you're having no trouble transferring the files, it's just that the metadata isn't preserved?

This is a long shot, but maybe you can import them into a PC program that preserves metadata, and then export them to the phone. Maybe Windows Live Photo Gallery, for example.

Windows Live Photo Gallery doesn't seem to have an export to device function, only sharing to facebook and other social networks :\
Any other free PC programs you might know about?

Sorry, not off-hand. Try C-Net.
The stock gallery app has a heart shaped icon you can select to create a folder of your favorite pictures. Recently and seemingly randomly, my entire favorites folder disappears and all selected photos become unselected. So far, it has happened twice this week.
Anyone else try this yet? Does it work for you?

Yes I have had this issue and its very annoying. I lost all my marked photos and have to search them all again in the gallery. Not sure if this is a bug in EMUI 4.1 because I haven't upgraded yet to EMUI5. If it's still there in EMUI5 then Huawei is yet to address it.

Google photos and Adobe Lightroom for editing. I'll try using various features one at a time to isolate the issue.

Well bro , i wonder how he is doing. Even i do need a update from him now:highfive:
This is so frustrating! I tried the following and nothing happened:
- Editing a favorite photo using the stock editor
- Editing a favorite photo issuing Lightroom
- Sharing a favorite photo via sms
- Sharing a favorite photo via Facebook
- Viewing a favorite photo via Google Photos
- Restarting the phone
Since none of that caused the favorites folder to disappear, I moved on with my life and over the next few hours, I did the following:
- Phone calls
- Browsed the web
- Sent text messages
- Played music over Bluetooth
Just as I had nearly forgotten about this issue, I decided to check one more time and now the favorites folder is gone again! I have no idea what caused it but it's now the third time in the past 2 weeks. I only recently started using that feature but it doesn't seem to last for more than a few days for me.
Anyone else have any feedback?

U figured out the culprit?
Approximately how much time passes from you marking a photo to when you notice the folder missing and pics unmarked?

2-3 days, I'm on day 2 now... Fingers crossed
After seeing this post earlier, I marked some pics as favorite. I see the Favorite folder, and I'll see if that happens with me.
I'm on an L14

Any report?
Mine has suddenly lasted a whole week without deleting itself. Not sure how or why though...
I marked 5 pics back when I first replied a few days ago and the Favorites folder is still in my gallery showing all of the marked pics.

Mine too .. the photos still exist there . I had a backup before doing this
Honor needs to fix this
Luckily I never used this feature.
