No option to edit portrait/cinematic mode on Mac Photos

I can't seem to edit my portrait photos and cinematic photos on my Mac after the 15th Jul 2022 (e.g change depth in portrait or focus in cinematic)


Everything before can be editing, but nothing after that date. I can still edit the modes on my iPhone, but no option on my Mac.


iPhone 13 Pro Max, M1 MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021) running Monterey


Any suggestions?

Hi phatman-2008,


Thanks for posting here in Apple Support Communities. It's a bit weird that you can't edit any of the photos after a certain date so we'd suggest to open your Mac in safe mode to see if this issue presents itself there. Keep in mind that starting in safe mode will take a little longer than normal, because it verifies and repairs the directory, cleans caches, and loads only Apple-critical items. See: How to use safe mode on your Mac


"How to use safe mode

Determine whether you're using a Mac with Apple silicon, then follow the appropriate steps:


Apple silicon

  1. Shut down your Mac.
  2. Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button until you see the startup options window.
  3. Select your startup disk, then press and hold the Shift key while clicking “Continue in Safe Mode.”
  4. Log in to your Mac. You might be asked to log in again.


Intel processor

  1. Turn on or restart your Mac, then immediately press and hold the Shift key as your Mac starts up.
  2. Release the key when you see the login window, then log in to your Mac. 
  3. You might be asked to log in again. On either the first or second login window, you should see ”Safe Boot” in the upper-right corner of the window."


Let us know how that goes.


Take care.
