How to Recover Photos with Time Machine on Mac

I am running Ventura 13.1 and I want to recover photos from my Time Machine Backup. I open the Photos application then click on the Time Machine icon in the upper right menu bar of my Mac and select Browse Backups. The Photos application does not stay in the foreground showing the various backups but rather the Time Machine backups display the desktop with the various drives and document locations listed on the sidebar panel. I can not find any way to show the various photo backups.

Hello, for recovering Photos from Time Machine, the steps you can take here:

(You have enabled Time Machine backup before.)

  1. Quit the Photos app.
  2. Apple menu > System Settings > General > Time Machine.
  3. The window shows your available backups, click the date of your last backup, then find the backup of the Photos.
  4. Click Restore at the bottom.

Hope you can recover them at last.
