When I make edits to a photo on my iPhone in the built-in photo app, let my iCloud sync (all sync options are turned on) and then open that same photo up on my Mac, the edited version is available but I am unable to see the specific edits I made on my iPhone in the Mac Photos app. Is there any way to make these visible? It would be nice if edits from the phone translate over to the Mac and vice versa.

There are some edits possible on the iPhone, that even Photos for Mac cannot recreate, for example the perspective correction. If you add adjustments, that only the iPhone can do, you cannot revert these adjustments individually in Photos for Mac, only on the iPhone. You can only see, that the photo has been adjusted and revert to the original. I hope the improved straighten tool from the iPhone will soon come to Photos for Mac as well.

As a quick test, I edited a photo on my phone (running iOS 13.4.1), adjusting Brilliance and Saturation. When the photo synced to my Mac (Catalina 10.15.4), the slider bars for Brilliance and Saturation in the left sidebar showed the changes I made. (You may need to expand the Options under Light and Color to see the details.)
I can see that not transferring over but I’m talking about ANY edit aside from cropping. Even adjusting the shadows, contrast, brilliance, sharpness or definition etc don’t transfer over.
