Have a 4 year old MacBook Pro 15". All the latest updates. Tried to open a Photosfile and got a message that the file was not compatible with Photos 3. It worked 3 days ago with this same file. This was after the Catalina update.
On Catalina you should have Photos 5.0 installed and not Photos 3.
Perhaps you have been using a link on the Desktop or a Dock icon that is still linked to an over version of Photos on a backup drive or somewhere.
Try to launch Photos by double clicking the Photos icon in the Applications folder, not some link on the Desktop or in the Dock. This should launch the current version of Photos.
To open an older Photos Library in Photos 5.0 hold down the options key ⌥ while launching Photos 5.0.
Release the key, when the library chooser dialog appears, then select the older library you want to open.

My apps showed Photos, Photos 2, Photos 3. On my 3rd guess, I found plain old Photos to be Photos 5. thanks for the reply
It will be in your Applications folder.
What happens, when you launch the Photos.app directly from Applications? Which version number is shown?
How do I find Photos 5.0 ?
Photosfiles, Photos 3 and Catalina 10.15.3
