Editing a Photo

Some of my photos I can edit the lighting effect of portrait mode and some I cannot. Why is that?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

Mac OS Photos unable to edit Portrait Depth on iPhone 14 Pro photos It looks like this might be a common problem whenever Apple releases a new phone, as I see people have had this issue in the past. Although Photos on my M1 Mac mini and 14" MacBook Pro can see that a photo was taken with Portrait mode on my iPhone 14 Pro, it can't edit the depth of the photo or change the lighting, see attached. I'm sure that Apple will fix this somewhen, which is why I'm putting this out there to notify them,

Can't edit portrait photo from iPhone 13 Pro in macOS Photos I just moved to an iPhone 13 Pro from an 11. If I take a portrait photo with the 13 and view it in macOS Photos it tells me it is a portrait photo and the background is blurred. But I can't edit it to change lighting effect or depth of field like I could with my 11. When you click edit the portrait edit options are missing. New and old portrait photos taken with my iPhone 11 can still be edited just fine in macos Photos I can fully edit the portrait photoss from the 13 using my iPhone 11, iPhone 13, and iPad. It's only mac that can't edit them, and only the ones from the 13. I'm running macOS Big Sur 11.6 on an intel macbook pro.
