Near 100GB "Masters" directory in .photoslibrary, but images don't show up
Hi,
I was looking at my photo's library, but to my surprised it only contained 34 photos instead of the thousands there once used to be in there. The 34 photos seem to have come from my iCloud.
My .photoslibrary is over 100GB in size, with almost all of the size being in the Masters directory which seem to contain my photos, but the Photos app simply doesn't see them. The only pictures I can see (that came from iCloud) are in the "originals" folder and are using a miserly 100MB in total.
How can I get access to my images again? Do I simply move these out of the "Masters" directory and then import them again in a fresh library? Why does this have to happen anyway?
Let me know, these are all old photos that are dear to me from between 2014 and 2019
