[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1856900, member: 396914"] "Adjustments" are any edits to the images you may have made. Photos is a database, with the images as the starting point, then any edits are also stored in the database, which is why Photos can do a restore back to the original image. When Photos then retrieves the image for you, it starts with the original and reapplies all the edits, in order, to get to the image you last saw. From the two messages, it sounds like the database you restored is compromised and Photos cannot get to the list of adjustments. A corrupt database would also result in the video error you see. Back in post #6, I said, "As for the missing images, there are two ways to import images to Photos. One copies the actual file into Photos, the other just uses an external reference to the image file wherever it is on your system. It may be that you broke the links in the move somehow. If you have the original files, you should be able to re-import them." You never responded to that, but maybe it's time to return to that topic. How were the images imported into Photos in the first place? If they were actually imported to Photos then it may be corrupted. If you were pointing to the original files and not actually importing to Photos, it may be that the images are moved or missing for some reason. Given that you restored, photolibraryd has nothing to do, so that's why no activity from it. At this point, if you have the original image files, it may be easiest to import them all into a new, clean, empty Photos database and start from scratch, clean. Or do a new TM restore from before the one you just did. [/QUOTE]
