Photos not appearing

My Photos all appear in my photo App on my MacBook Air. When I go to insert a photo in Facebook or Gumtree or PowerPoint or any other application only animated number of photos appear. Suggestions please on how to access all of them.

Do you have the iCloud Photo Library enabled in your Photos Library?


If you do do you also have "Optimized Mac Storage" enabled.



If yes to both questions that may be why only a few images are available as the others are optimized and need to be download as full sized images before they are available outside of the library.
