Photos Portrait Mode Adjustment Is Unavailable

When I open and edit a pic shot in portrait mode (with the "Portrait" label in the top left), I don't get the Portrait selection menu under adjustments. Nor do I get the portrait adjustment toolbar at the bottom of the window.


Is this because I'm using an older (2014) iMac?


I do get the Portrait mode f-stop and lighting options on the iPhone.


Iphone 13 pro

MacOs 11.6

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014)

iPhone 13 Pro
