I have lost access to ALL of my photos in iPhoto because I upgraded (foolishly) to Catalina. How can I get these photos transferred? iPhoto will not open at all to allow a transfer of these files.

FWIW, Photos is installed with Catalina and is not available as a download in the App Store. if you still have the iPhotos Library, hold the Option key when opening Photos and it will let you choose the iPhotos Library to import.
