I have a photo on top of my work before I can begin post-processing my pictures. I'm also unable to load my images. I cannot get rid of the photo hiding my workspace. I have a Mac air.

This sound like a Secondary display window, which can be displayed by pressing F11.

Press F11 again to hide it.

The Secondary display window is meant to appear on a second monitor, but if you only have one, it will display on top of the normal program window.

I do have two windows and followed directions from some of the
suggestions from the chat.
Something worked and I can now continue with Lightroom Classic, which is
working closely to what I had before. Nothing is covered now.
Thank you for your interest in my problem and the advice to help rectify
what has been happening.

Hi @donna_1525, welcome to the community!
Could you share a few more details, like which version of Lightroom Classic you're using and what you mean by a photo hiding your workplace? If you’re able to include a screenshot or screen recording, that would really help us take a closer look.
Thanks so much!
