I selected a still photo from my gallery in FCP and right clicked, selecting reveal in Photos where I edited it. I now want to get the edited version back to my FCP project but don't know how to toggle back to FCP. There used to be a button called "details" to let you select FCP but I don't see it in photos any more. Your assistance is appreciated.

Editing photos in Photos is not something that I do, but I did a quick test and my findings may help you:
I selected one photo in the Photos browser in FCP, and chose Edit in Photos. I made some changes.
The thumbnail image in FCP did update to the new version (after navigating out of the album and back); the viewer was still showing the old version, BUT... dragging the image to the timeline produced the correct edited version.

Cmd-Tab opens the App Switcher, and lets you toggle between any open applications. Hold the Cmd key and tap Tab.
It should be in your albums. If you edited the original image it should have changed in the album. Are you using iCloud Photos Library? That might be the problem.
I pressed Control + Tab and nothing happened.
Command-Tab. The key with the cloverleaf icon next to the spacebar.
Yes. It the edited version changed in Photos, but the edited version did not pop up in FCP, the original is still there.
You will probably have to relaunch the application in this case.
I am not using iCloud photos, so I guess that is the problem.
When I get this straighten out, where can I expect to find the edited picture in FCP>
Will it replace the original picture or go somewhere else?
No, don’t use iCloud Photo Library with FCP. Did you restart FCP?
Sorry I meant command + Tab but could not find the edited picture back in FCP. The original is still there.
