1. Right click on a photo, choose "Open With External Editor"
2. As you see, the file opens as FILENAME_modified.jpg
3. Edit your file as you wish, save it and close editor.
4. Wait a second and see how Shotwell updates the thumbnail of your
image.
5. If you want your original image back, right click on the image and
pick "Revert to Original".
