I

f you’ve continued to use iPhoto after

Apple discontinued (go.macworld.com/

dcon) it in 2015, you had to know its

days were numbered. Many people

preferred iPhoto’s controls and the new

Photos app was initially missing features,

and it was buggy, crashy, and slow at

times. Photos has improved substantially,

though it’s still not everyone’s cup of tea.

Now, iPhoto’s number is finally truly up.

The outdated software won’t launch in

Apple has also sent riding into the sunset

iPhoto users, you’re out of time

with macOS Catalina. What’s

your next step?

Not everyone migrated to Photos. Now you almost have to.
