[QUOTE="Nancy Withrow, post: 1835358, member: 76230"] OK. I see where others have noticed the same problem with Preview and auto-saving changes. I went to link Patrick shared about Mac's AutoSave feature. The article states that the AutoSave is turned on by default and cannot be turned off. So, that is what has been happening when I resize/modify a .jpg or .png graphic and I do not save the changes, close the window, and then later open the same graphic and see that Preview saved the change I made and the original version is no longer available. So, from now on - I need to remember to work from a copy of the original. I don't know why Apple did that - not making it possible to even turn off that default! As I mentioned earlier, I'm using El Capitan. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Apparently this can't be turned off in El Capitan. [/QUOTE]
