Windows 8.1 "Photos" app won't let me edit original

I don't know when it started, but it was not very long.  Less than a week.  I use the Photos app for editing photos taken from my camera.   I only do rotate and crop with this program.  This morning, I tried to change a few new photos and when I clicked on make rotated, he said: "press on edit, and then make changes.  I hope it's just a mistake with the program which can be fixed.  If not, why the spin button would be there? And why make it more difficult then it must be for the most common touch-up 2.  When I go to save him, he forces me to save a copy and not the original.  I can use the crop, but it still forces me to save a copy.

  • iMac won't turn. Startup disk is full. TDM won't let me edit.

    iMac won't turn. Startup disk is full. TDM won't let me edit.

    My iMac turns off 10 seconds after the start to the top. I tried repair disk running, to no avail. What is happening is because my boot drive is full, off the 500 GB I partitioned in mac, 493,63 GB is taken up. I bought a thunderbolt cable to access the TOC on my mac book, and I have access to my files now. The problem is that I can only copy files. Authorities say I read and write permissions. When I start my host computer, it says "you can still open or copy the files on the disk, but you cannot save changes to the files on the disc. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can. "I'm trying to copy all my files on this computer and remove what I don't want copies, then reinstall OSX on my iMac. The problem is that some files are native to all OSX, so it would prevent me from copying the files. For example, if I want to copy my applications folder, it stops to copy once it reached the app store, because it cannot copy that. It is a problem because when it comes to the library, there are small files in there that I don't know if I can copy, then it stops at the copy and I end up with half of my files and I don't know what I need and what I have.

    Everything you need to copy the disk, then start the iMac in recovery (command-R) mode. Wipe the drive and reinstall OS X from the recovery console.

  • Why don't Windows (or the Photo app) read more a picture of the USB port?

    Why do Rt Windows reads only one photo at a time a USB plugged into the USB port?  I had imagined that the Photo app would be able to see the drive and move from one photo to another, but it does not work.
    I have tried using Windows Explorer to slect all the pictures, and then click right and select 'open' from the menu.  Only a single open photo.  He need to return several times to explore, click on the following picture, wait until it opens, etc..

    On my desktop PC (a Dell running Windows 7), Windows Photo Viewer will open one and then pass that one to what is provided for in the same folder, by clicking on the button "Next" or "previous."  Works with both files on the disk hard and files on a USB key.  Seems pretty obvious to me.

    Am I missing something?

    (PS: I'm sure that someone else asked this, but a couple of searches do not turn up quite the same question.)

    Last updated on 15/07/13: I managed to solve this problem. All I had to do was to rename the folder in the case to be 'Photos' instead 'photos.' It's a trick that I had read some time ago and had not followed. Once I renamed the mounted folder (because it shows on the C drive), the photos are visible in the Photos app.   Curiously, the photos appear but not the name of the subfolder. Not really a major problem, but a little... weird, maybe.

    Hi Benzman,

    1. what other app are you talking about where the photos are working properly?
    2. were there any changes (hardware or software) to the computer before the show?
    3. What is the format of these photos?
     
    I tried on my side, and it works correctly.
    a: I clicked on the Windows Logo + E to bring up Windows Explorer.
    b: then I selected all the photos and then right-click on it and choose Open.
    c: open photos, and then I click on the arrows to navigate to other photos.
     
     
    Good day!
  • AMD Vision Engine Control Center won't let me edit the scaling options.

    Hi, I wanted to change the option of scaling on my computer to "centered", it won't let me.

    Ansel salvation,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    This can happen if the drivers are outdated. You can update your drivers and see if you still face the same problem. If the problem persists then you can uninstall and install the driver and check if it helps.

    Update/install the latest video card drivers and check if it helps.

    You can use the rest of Photoshop OK? It looks like little to PS is waiting for input before it will do anything, like you have an asset free transform or crops waiting to be committed to or escaped. Oh and the Brush tool sellected again.

    I need help reactivate my Adobe Photoshop CS (version 8.0) after upgrading my system Windows 10. The procedure provided by Adobe when I try to open the app does not work.

    CS2, Acrobat 7 + Audition 3 (AND PREVIOUS) activation server has disappeared, then read below

    NOTE that CS2 will not install on a Mac "modern" with an Intel processor, and when you install the special version of the PPro2 on a Win7 computer Win8 or Win10, you may need to right click on the program icon and select Windows XP compatibility in the popup of option

  • When you try to create an application Windows in DPS In - App purchases wont let me go further

    Hello

    I'm going through the process of trying to create a Windows application using the dps application builder.

    I get through the General and active this part very well, but when I get to the In - App purchase page I am stuck on the default price level. In the example, it shows com.adobe.dps.199

    The app that I produce doesn't have any In - app purchases. And it's already setup of Microsoft with no in-app purchases

    I tried to type in the price level Adobe box but no indication of the present key actually be at my disposal.

    Any ideas?

    Do not put anything in the box in-app purchase, just leave it blank.

    If the Send button lights means you have missed something on one of the pages required earlier. Make sure that there is a green check mark next to each item in the list of the pages on the left. If one of them doesn't have a green check mark means that you forgot a field that is required.

    If I had to guess I got say you forgot to specify the background color for the home screen on the active page. He often drops below the bottom of the screen on the small screens (such as my notebook), and is easy to Miss

  • Windows Movie Maker 6.0 won't let me import

    My Windows Movie Maker for Vista (I guess 6.0) does not allow me to import any media. It is a new problem. He worked at a couple of days and all of a sudden does not allow me to import files that she allowed me to import before. After that I tried to import, it says that it cannot because of "an unknown error." If I try to import a second time, and then it says that Windows Movie Maker has stopped responding. The same thing happens when I try to delete the files from the imported section (ones I've imported before and are still there from when he worked).

    Unless someone knows what's going on, I was going to just uninstall and reinstall if it was free, but could not find the 6.0 download.

    Hi Powderdd,

    You cannot uninstall Director of vista because it is part of the operating system.

    This error may be due to some compatibility issue, you can try to update the codec on your computer, and then try to import. If it fails, you can check if the file format is supported by media player.
