Gallery Not Saving Original Image

[JamesJoey]

I have a Galaxy Tab A, SM-T510 and the software is up to date.
When I edit an image in gallery and I save the changes it does not save the original.
Is there a setting to have the original saved?
In previous software this wasn't the case.

I find it hard to believe (I do not have your device) that the original is being overwritten without your consent.
Check the settings in the app you use to edit the pics, or use a better one that is more simple to use.

I'm sing the built in app the came with the tablet-- Gallery.

I found that when I edit the image, usually just cropping, there is a button at the top.
The button is Save. That's the one that overwrites.````````
Butt I found a command in the pull down menu (the 3 dots) has an option to 'Save copy'
which doesn't overwrite.
Since I saw the 'Save' command at the top I never bothered to ;look elsewhere.
I thing they should be switched.

Glad you found the save copy and yes, it does seem rather stupid!

Most stock apps really suck.
Try the ones I posted links to.
They are both great.
