It does not modify your original photographs. That is to say, if you crop a photo or adjust its colors, the photo file on disc remains untouched. Shotwell stores your edits in a database and applies them on the fly as necessary. This means you can undo any alterations you make to a photograph.</p> <p>If you want to see what a photo looked like before your modifications, press the <key>Shift</key> key. The original photo will be displayed as long as you hold the key down.</p> <p>Note that Shotwell can optionally write metadata (such as tags and titles) to photo files. For more information, see the section <link xref="other-files">Photo files</link>.</p> </page>
