Hi - A few weeks ago, I had an update on my iMac (Yosemite) which uninstalled iPhoto and replaced it with PHOTOS. I use a simple graphics creator program from Laughingbird Software called Logocreator and now am unable to import images from my photos library into that program unless I save them to my desktop first. I want to be able to go directly into PHOTOS (like I did with iPhoto) and grab my shots. How can I get this program to see the photos? It can see "Photobooth" but not the photos in "photos." It's extremely frustrating.
Problems importing images into Logocreator with new "Photos" progam

iPhoto is still there in your Applications folder. You don't have to use Photos unless you want to.
Thanks for your reply. However, iPhotos *is* in my applications folder, but it is grayed out with an X through it. If I click on it, it takes me to a message that says "In order to open iPhoto.app," you need to update to the latest version. The version of iphoto installed on this Mac is not compatible with OS X Yosemite. However, when I try to go to the App store to do that, the message I get is that the version I am looking for is no longer available in the U.S. So, I'm stuck with PHOTOS. And, I already migrated all of my photos into Photos.

Your copy of iPhoto should have been updated prior to downloading Yosemite which has been available for some time. Remove the iPhoto app from your Applications folder, (leave it in the Trash) then go to the Mac App Store, look for iPhoto among your downloads and re-download it. It should then download the correct version for Yosemite.
Thank you all very much for your replies. However, iPhoto came preinstalled on this computer, so there will be nothing in my Mac App store purchase history, as this is my work computer and it was here when I got here. When I go to the Mac App store and search for iPhoto, information on iPhoto does come up, but unless I'm a total spaz,there is nothing clickable to make a purchase. All roads lead to the new PHOTOS. I am also contacting Laughingbird Software (who make Logocreator) but would still appreciate it if anyone has any other ideas. Maybe I just ought to be taken out and hanged. It seems like it would be quicker...and less painful.

Did you actually look at your purchase history? You have stated that "there will be nothing..." which implies that you didn't actually look. It is there under my purchases and all i've done with it is let the updates apply.Thank you all very much for your replies.

Because if you ever updated it, it shows as a purchase. And where you bought the machine is not a factor. It's your Apple ID that tracks the software installed on your machine. You should call Apple and ask the about downloading iPhoto.
