Upgrade issues with Monterey?
If I upgrade from MacOS Catalina to Monterey, will my photo Library work the same way?

If you have been using the Memories, it is now more limited. we can no longer edit videos directly in a Memory.
But Photos on Monterey does now allow to import photos directly from another rPhotos Library: Importing photos directly from another Photos Library into the currently open Library
And the controls to export still frames from videos have been moved: How to extract a still frame from a video in Photos 7 on macOS 12 Monterey https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250004312

You're welcome, Marcia. Good Luck for the upgrade. I like Photos 7 on Monterey much more than the Catalina version. particularly the new tools "Live Text" and "visual lookup" are very convenient when organising the library and adding titles and descriptions. macOS Monterey - New Features - Apple
Photos
Memories: Fresh new look
Memories has a fresh new look including new animation and transition styles, and multiple image collages for a cinematic feel.
Memories: Memory looks
Inspired by the art of cinematography, 12 Memory looks add mood by analyzing each photo and video and applying the right contrast and color adjustment to give them a consistent look — just as the colorists at film studios do.
Memories: Interactive interface
Click to pause, replay the last photo, skip to the next, or jump ahead, and the music keeps playing and the timing adjusts to keep the transitions on the beat.
Memories: Browse view
View all the photos and videos from your memory in one easy-to-navigate grid.
Memories: New memory types
New memory types include additional international holidays, child-focused memories, trends over time, and improved pet memories, including recognizing individual dogs and cats.
Memories: Watch next
Memories suggests related memories to watch next after your memory finishes playing.
Shared with You
Click Shared with You in the sidebar to view photos and videos that have been shared with you in Messages. Photos taken when you were present also appear in All Photos and in Days, Months, and Years views and can appear in your Featured Photos and Memories, including the Photos widget. Save a photo to your library or respond to the sender in Messages.
Richer Info pane
Copy and paste edits to the location and date taken and learn about objects in the photo that were detected by Visual Look Up.
Faster iCloud Photos library initial sync
When you upgrade to a new device, iCloud Photos syncs more quickly, so you can get to your photo library faster.
Import photos from another Photos library
Now you can import original photos, including edits, from a second Photos library.
People identification improvements
The People album has improved recognition for individuals.
People naming workflow
Correct naming mistakes more easily in the People album.
Suggest less often
Click Feature Less to let Photos know you prefer to see less of a specific date, place, holiday, or person across Featured Photos, in the Photos widget, in Memories, or highlighted in the Library tab.
Thanks, Léonie. I don't bother much with Memories, but I do care a lot about keeping the hard work I've done editing my photos and making my Library searchable. And I'll also want to extract still frames for videos. (Partly because my iPhone XR often insists that I have taken a video when I intended to take a still shot.)
There are some minor differences, but it is basically the same.
Thanks, Tony. I'm glad that it will be more smooth compared to an upgrade a did quite a while ago.
Thanks again, Léonie. I'll keep this all in mind.
