Did this happen after the recent 15.5 update?

You might try to reinstall the combo updater:

Yes, and thank you. Reinstalling the updater appears to have resolved my problem. I am now able to edit without losing photos or having to 'revert to original". Also Photos is now uploading to icloud appropriately. Thank you.

It might.

You can also boot into Safe mode and see if that helps:
