After editing images it says they are around 6 MP. From there I drag them into a folder on my desktop. When I do this it changes my MP to 1.6. Why is it doing this & how do I stop it???? 10D ~ EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM ~EF 17-40mm f/4L ~ EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III

Jul 05, 2010 12:43 | #4 both.... it turns the pics from 6.3 MP to 1.6 MP and 2.36 MB to 349 KB. After I have been editing an image I drag it to a folder on my desktop & delete it from Aperture & now I don't have the original pic 10D ~ EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM ~EF 17-40mm f/4L ~ EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III

If you want to move/copy the image to the desktop you need to use the Export command. When I export an image it keeps the original MB & MP but then when I go to open that file from my desktop it says : "The application Preview can't be opened -600" 10D ~ EF 100mm f/2.8L IS USM ~EF 17-40mm f/4L ~ EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III
