I am creating a slide show with iMovie.
When I use the pictures from Photos, it takes the original picture but not the latest edited picture.
Exporting the picture from Photos and then explicitly importing into iMovie works, but is very tedious.
Is there a fix for this issue, or does someone know a more practicable workaround?

Others have posted with the same issue. It appears to be a bug. I am not aware of any fix just yet. As you mentioined, exporting from the Photos app and dragging from desktop into iMovie has been the workaround. One can create a Finder folder with the photos to be used, and then drag them as a batch into iMovie.
I use an older version of Photos. When I open the Photos library and an iMovie project so they display side by side on the screen, I can drag edited photos from the iMovie library into the project and have the edits carry over. I don't know if that would work with your newer Photos version, but it might be worth a try.

Let us know what worked, if you have time.
I just noticed a typo in my earlier post. I meant to say to drag the photo from the Photos library (not the iMovie library) into the iMovie project.

Thanks, I will use then this workaround until Apple has released a fix. I don't remember having this problem in the past.
