Just to chime in, if you launch an image editor from outside Shotwell and edit a photo while Shotwell is running, the change will only be noticed by Shotwell if you have library monitoring turned on (Edit -> Preferences -> Watch library directory for new files) *and* the photo file is somewhere in your library directory (i.e. the directory listed right above this checkbox). Otherwise, Shotwell will only notice the change the next time you start it.
