Comment captions not showing in Mac Photos

Photos taken on my iPhone transfer to Apple Photos on my Mac where I keep them stored rather than using iCloud, since I have far too many photos for an iCloud budget. On vacation, I like to press the information button on the bottom of a photo I took and add a comment in the caption. When the photo transfers to my Mac the comment doesn't appear. I am running Photos v. 7.0 and OS 12.4. Any help would be appreciated.

"The transfer via a USB cable is supposed to transfer the unmodified original, not the edited version. The caption is not embedded in the original, so it is not transferred.


The only easy way to transfer the edits from an iPhone or iPad losslessly, including the albums, caption, locations, adjusted dates is iCloud Photos Library." Also AirDrop can be used to transfer the modified version with added metadata.
