Description
### What Happened?
When I cropped a photo in Photos, I closed the app and then tried to upload the photo online, and it didn't seem to have the cropped version. It only had the original one. It also doesn't show the cropped version in Files either. If there was a save button inside the app, I could use that, but the app is supposed to autosave. I was able to open the picture in Files' Photo Viewer and press save, but couldn't save it in Photos.
### Steps to Reproduce
- Open Photos
- Edit a picture, then close it.
- Upload it or open it in Files and see that only the original version shows up.
### Expected Behavior
That Photos would autosave the edited version and it would show up in Files and File Roller.
### OS Version
6.x (Odin)
### Software Version
Latest release (I have run all updates)
### Log Output
_No response_
### Hardware Info

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Photos by editing a picture, closing the app, and checking it in Files or File Roller. Trace the autosave behavior from that workflow; done means the edited version remains available after closing Photos and appears in both Files and File Roller.
