iPhoto/Photos

Well, this is awkward.

For years, iPhoto was the photo organizing/editing program that came free with every Mac. But in the fall of 2014, Apple announced that iPhoto would be going away. It would be replaced by a new program called Photos—but not until sometime in 2015!

So if you have OS X Yosemite, you might have iPhoto, and you might have Photos, depending on when you’re reading this. What a nightmare for people who write computer books!

In any case, you can read about the new Photos app once it becomes available. At that point, you’ll be able to download a free PDF appendix to this chapter called “Photos.pdf” from this book’s “Missing CD” page at www.missingmanuals.com.
