As a test launch Photos with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it? (This tells us if the problem is limited to your current library or is more wide spread)


Next log into another user account and see if the problem persists there in Photos. (This tells us if the problem is limited to your user account or is system wide).


Finally boot into Safe Mode (Use Safe Mode to isolate issues with your Mac) and test the Edit button from there.

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