Preview of thumbnail white in iphoto

After I edit a photo in iphoto the preview only shows a white image.

I am not connected to icloud or photo optimisation.

The photo has only been edited with iphoto as a Raw image.


Any suggestions would be great.


Thanks

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

amh276,


We appreciate you trying those steps and following up with us. Let's see if the issue is in the library in that case. Try following the steps in this article: Get help with the Photos app on your Mac Specifically you will want to follow this section:


If you're having other issues with Photos
If you're experiencing other issues—like missing or blank photo thumbnails, unexpected behavior, or if Photos won’t open—try to see if it's an issue with your library by following these steps.
Create a new Photos library and see if your issues persist:
Quit Photos.
Press and hold the Option key while you open Photos.
In the dialog that appears, click Create New.
Give your new library a name, then click OK. Note whether Photos opens successfully with this new library.
To return to your main Photos library, quit Photos. Then open it again while holding the Option key, select your main library, and click Choose Library.
Alternatively, you can open Photos in another user account on your Mac and note whether Photos opens successfully.
If Photos opens with the new library, or in a different user account, it might mean that there's an issue with your library. Follow the steps to use the Photos library repair tool on your main Photos library.


We hope that helps! Take care.

Thank you Joseph_S. for your kind suggestion. Unfortunately I am unable to get my issue resolved. I am using Photos Version 5.0 (151.19.150). The Finder>View>Show> stops there. There is only the options of All Items, Edited, Favourite etc. There is also an option for Show Thumbnails but that is greyed out and not able to be selected. If I export the images I am able to view them as a jpeg on my desktop or if I go back into Edit, I can view the image but just not as a thumbnail.
