The update, available through the Mac App Store’s software update tool, will help users transition their photo libraries to Apple’s new software when it’s eventually made available to the public.
The update adds the following:
- Improves compatibility when migrating iPhoto libraries to the new Photos app in the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 (available this spring)
- Fixes an issue that caused iPhoto to display only the first 25 images in a Facebook album
- Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to become unresponsive when printing an image
The Photos app also allows you to browse your photos by time and location in Moments, Collections, and Years views, navigate your library using convenient Photos, Shared, Albums, and Projects tabs, perfect your photos with powerful and easy-to-use editing tools that optimize with a single click or slider, and allow precise adjustments with detailed controls, and purchase prints in square and panoramic sizes.
