Editing photos on new MacBook Pro

I received a Macbook Pro for Christmas. I store my photos in Photos and "edit with" several different Apps (Affinity, Topaz, and Exposure). I now get an error message each time I try to "edit with" any of those apps. What do I need to do to enable the Apps to access my Photo photos.

Also, Photos is storing a blurred version of my photos, I have to hit "Edit" for the photo to come into focus. When saved, it goes back to the blurr? What's happening?

Thank you!

I'm not sure exactly how to do that. I'll have to get someone to help me with that. May I contact you again once I figure that out?

Thanks,

No, it still shows a blurred image until I hit the edit button, then it clears (or finishes loading all the pixels). Once I close it and look back at it, it is blurred again.

No. Safe mode deletes caches, and that's probably the source of the issue. As they re re built they should be more accurate.
