iPad Some thing is wrong with the iPad or Apples photo app

[Bubble99]

I have some pictures in the Apple Photo app that I cropped. And every thing seems to work okay but when I try to back up my photos on the windows computer running windows 10 or backing up my photos on cloud back up it keeps the old photo not the cropped photo.

What can I do? I“m not going to crop hundreds of these photos again.

When I try to back up my photos on say cloud storage or send it to the windows PC it sends the old photos not the cropped phots and the effects I made.

Well using Apple photo app it shows all the cropped phots and effects I made not before. But some how it is hidden there some where became when I send it to the windows PC or upload it to cloud storage it is uploading old photo not the cropped photos.

What can I do? I“m not going to crop hundreds of these photos again.

I believe that the cropping is stored in metadata and to make it "permanent", you have to do the crop and then do an export of that cropped image - the truly cropped image will be that image in the exported location. That's why you can do another edit and revert to original - the original image is intact and the cropping info was in the metadata. The Windows backup version does not recognize/use the metadata.

I answered the "why" on what you're seeing but didn't provide a solution. I think what you can do is select multiple of your edited images at a time in Photos and export them together - you wouldn't have to go through and individually do each one. Then you would have all of your edited images in that saved location (e.g., Files) and do the backup to Windows from there.
