I am new to Lightroom Classic, I cannot import any photos from my Apple Mac into Lightroom Classic. I have the latest OS version onmy Mac and latest version of Lightroom Classic. I have tried inporting into Lightroom Classic from Photos and from folders on desktop, I have also tried drag and drop but that does not work either. Lightroom Classic recognises the folders in the source panel but still will not import or show the photots. Help?

To access the original photos in the Photos app, you need to right click on the Photos Library.photoslibrary (In Pictures) and choose 'Show Package Contents'. Drag the 'originals' folder onto the Lightroom Classic icon. The subfolders are numbered, so a little annoying.
