The editing options gray out. Never happened before. The only thing I discovered is when I click on Get Info instead of saying Apple iPhone 7 Plus, with all the details of that photo, it says No camera information. No lens information. Is this a phone setting I screwed up?
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11.1.2, iMac (Retina 5K, 27-in) OS 10.12.6
That has nothing to do with Photos for Mac where you posted
A merry-go-round, Larry ? TD had the post already relocated once, from the iPhoto Forum.(https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8197215?answerId=32709653022#32709653022)

And unless the OP supplies information and answers question no one can possible help even after their posting in the wrong forum has been corrected -- they are not using iCloud backup for IOS to move the photos to the Mac so knowing how they are doing it is important information that has been ask twice and not answered

Version 2.0 of iPhoto. mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 Note: I took a number of pictures yesterday. The ones I took early in the day uploaded fine and are editable. The ones I took in the afternoon uploaded at the same time (all through iCloud backup) and can't be edited. None were edited on the phone prior to moving them.

Your iPhone with iOS 11.2 can take photos in the new format HEIC. Unless you set the settings for Photos ab camera on the i
Phone to "most compatible" photos on the Mac cannot process the iages. You need to upgrade your Mac to High Sierra and Photos 3.0 to be compatible with the new image and video formats.
That has nothing to do with Photos for Mac where you posted and does not move your photos anyplace - is is a backup for IOS devices and does not involve the Mac in any way nor can you access the backup using any photo software - it can be restored to your IPOS device but not used as a data file for operations
The question remains unanswered
What version of the OS and IOS and how are you getting the photos from the Phone to the Mac? Are you editing them on the phone prior to moving them to the Mac?

Here's a screenshot from my phone. iCloud Backup. One thing that I just discovered. If I drag the uneditable photo to my desktop and then upload it back to iPhoto, I can edit it. Weird.
What version of iPhoto? Of the OS?

These is no such thing - do you mean iCloud Photo Library? If so are you using optimized photos on your Mac or are you downloading the originals to the Mac?

This is a question about Photos.app, not iPhoto. I'll ask this be moved to the correct forum.
Why are some pictures I took on iPhone uneditable on iPhoto?
