I just updated to Sequoia 15.4.1. Not knowing if this was the cause of the problem, I tried reinstalling the OS, but the same result.

How do you do the " transferring from Photos app to desktop?" Do you use the menu File>Export? That's the only reliable method. Some people (well, maybe all of us) try using Drag & Drop, and we find that it doesn't do what we think it will. The thing is, Photos has lots of different ways to generate a picture file, and Drag & Drop may or may not give you the one you want. So, if you're not using File>Export, try that.
Is this what's going on? Let us know…

Click the Desktop, then press ⌘J (Command-J) to Show View Options.
Make sure that the option to "Show icon preview" is check marked.
