Is a Power Photos conversion reversible?

I had an old iPhotos Library, in which I could see several years of photos, slotted by Year into different Rolls. I could view the photos individually, if I clicked on the Masters.

But Apple Photos didn't recognize the material and wouldn't import the files. So I tried using Power Photos to convert the Library....but it only captured the structure of my albums. No photos were imported. And now I cannot find the Rolls or old Masters.

Have I done something irrevocable here?

How did you use PowerPhotos to create a Photos Library from your old iPhoto Library?

Usually, the old iPhoto Library will not be deleted or modified, when you migrate the library to a Photos Library, so your old iPhoto Library should still be there.

Have you done the migration as described here? https://www.fatcatsoftware.com/powerphotos/VersionedDocs/v7/migrate_libraries.html
