I recently updated my mac to macOS Ventura 13.2.1 and now all my photos are missing. I've tried everything, recovery apps, going into files, looking in my trash can, going into finder to look for them. My whole entire photo library has disappeared. How can I get it back?

If you are unable to find your photos, can you provide a few more details? Do you have a Time Machine backup of your computer? If so, when was the last time you backed up your Mac? Also, are all of your photos missing or just certain photos?
Cheers!
