Why can I no longer duplicate photos after upgrading to Catalina on my iMac?

Boot into Safe Mode (Use Safe Mode to isoloate issues with your Mac) and test duplicating a photo from there. Reboot normally and test again.

NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing some system cache cleaning, volume verifying and directory repairing.
