Sorry, should have said "Hold down the option key while starting photos"


So close photos.

Hold down the option key, and open photos, keeping the option key held down.

Hi - I'm assuming here you are using the photos app, and not iPhoto (the upgrader tool suggests you were upgrading an iPhoto library)


They will still be in your original library.


To open it, hold down the option key. The resulting pane will show you all the libraries on your mac. Your original is most likely called "photos library.photoslibrary". Click it and open. If that is not the one, try any others, using the option key open each time.
