Can anyone explain how the crop function in the native Photos app really works? It seems that the only place those crops are saved is in the Photos app itself?if I try to load the cropped photo into another app like Snapseed, it uses the original, uncropped version. Is there a way to change that behavior?

Massie, after reading your post, I cropped an insignificant photo via the native Photo app and then viewed it via the Camera + app and the photo displayed in the manner in which it was cropped. I had the Snapseed app that I got via a promo code but have since deleted it from my iPhone. I could not find it in my "Purchased" app section of the App Store so I'm assuming apps acquired via promo codes are not saved as purchased after deletion.

Weird. Just tried it with Camera+ and mine still shows the full, uncropped picture as the import.

That is weird and I don't know what to tell you. Once you've cropped your photo and saved it via the native Photo app, does both your original photo & cropped photo show in your camera roll or just the cropped photo? Only the cropped photo show up in mine.

Only the cropped version, but 3rd party apps still pull the full one. I do see on the Apple discussion boards that I'm not the only one with this issue, so we'll see what happens. Maybe I'm just overlooking something.
