Trying to edit a photo in Sequoia's Photos app--brand new machine, just installed two days ago, iMac--and nothing will save. It will always revert. Of course this is my 87 year old father's machine and he uses exactly two apps--Photos and Mail. We've rebooted, etc. etc.
Perhaps a known new operating system issue that a patch is to fix?
Or somebody has a fix?
iMac (M3, 2023)
Hello,
I am facing the same problem after the update to Sequoia.
The workaround that I am using that has solved the problem for me is to convert the pictures to JPEG using the built-in utility in the finder before the import to photos app.
I select all the pictures in the folder, right click, quick actions, convert image, convert to JPEG.
If I import to the photos app the converted files (virtually equal to the original ones) everything works fine for me.
Maybe this workaround can fix the problem also for you while we wait for updates.
I boasted too early. If I try to edit the edited Sequoia picture (from OneDrive), it reverts to the un-edited version. If I edit a picture saved in an older OS, it works fine. Very frustrating.

Update--this still doesn't work.
Sequioa has been updated to 15.0.1, and Photos remains 10.0 (791.0.230)
No photos edits save. Everything is stored locally, nothing on the cloud. Any new photo coming down can be added to library but no edits save. Not using optimize storage.
Following the same workflow path as you--make the edit, hit "done." but then when you go back to the library it is the original, and when you open again, it is the original
I also have this problem, and it's happened with photos that I imported AFTER the upgrade as well, so it's not a migration issue with the specific photos. If Apple isn't going to release a patch, this is highly problematic, since I have nearly 70K pictures.
I reported this to Apple today - they did not know about this- for me, its just unable to edit new or older photos taken on Android since the update to sequoia. Besides downgrading to previous operating system, does anyone have any fixes for this
I have the same issues. I am working with photos I took two weeks ago, and only imported them to a newly released MacBook Pro. So these particular photos were not on my old device. There is probably something wrong with the retrieval/save system that Apple needs to fix in the Photos library.
And it gets worse. After trying all the work-arounds I could find, I was ready to make a copy of my Photos library and start from scratch. But I get errors when copying my library just in Finder. Even duplicating 200 photos in Photos yields errors. Very frustrating. I hope Apple will acknowledge and fix this soon.
I am having the same issues with photo edits reverting to original. The same with unnamed faces I will add the name and it will instantly revert to unnamed, or won't let me even try to name. Creating groups just sits there, there is no way to ignore unwanted faces, when naming new photos 1/2 the time you have to create a new name for one that is already existing, then merge the folders. I am getting increasingly frustrated with photos. I should also say that I am not hooked into the cloud.
I have the same issues Luckily, I found my edits on the OneDrive cloud.
Apple needs to fix this ASAP.
Upgraded to Sequoia a week ago. Now can save edited photos. ??
Have exactly same problem nothing from Apple
New Photos with Sequoia will not save edits
