HELP. How to open the ORIGINAL UNEDITED version of an image

Export the original from Photos, change the name, and open that. Once you edit and save a file in Photoshop, that's the file you have. Unless there is a copy someplace, the original is gone.

When you saved it to your computer, did you change the filename? If you didn't, then the new (altered) version will be what you saved over the untouched original. If you change the filename, then try re-uploading the untouched original from your phone, it should work. Or do you somehow have all your devices synced so that the altered version replaced the original everywhere? (I don't have this, so I'm just guessing here)

If that's the case, do you have Carbonite or some other online backup that might not yet have backed up the new version.

How are you opening it in Photoshop? For example, are you:

• Opening the photo from the Mac Finder desktop
• Opening the photo from Apple Photos or iPhoto, using the Edit With command, into Photoshop

I never had an iPhone but do have as old iPod 4 the has a camera.  I believe imaged taken are in Camera roll and can be mounted as a flash drive on Windows and  Mac computers and edited with  Photoshop.  So Photoshop can edit original images captured by the Mobile device.  Other image on the IPod wether moved on the iPod from camera roll or transfers via iTunes  from a computer can not be edited with Photoshop foe Photoshop does not run on a iPod or iPhone.    I also noticed that iTune messed with images I transferred from windows  the image files on the iPod were not exactly the same image  files on my PC iTunes changed the images somewhat.  My old iPod 4 with its 3:2 display battery is shot so it is now a mp3 player connected to my Accord audio system.

My mobile device is a surface pro 3 it runs Photoshop. My wife has an iPhone 8 it convent but its images are not in the same ball park as our out Canon EOS 1D Mk IV. Withe the 300MM F2.8 is its 10LBS at 78 my back is shot....

Hi DW,

When you look in the Finder or Windows File Explorer or Bridge, what does it says for both:

• The Create Date and
• The Edit Date?
