I know it is possible to use 9.6.1, that's what runs on this machine right now. Perhaps you need to re-read what I wrote.

And apparently other people have managed to install a version of iPhoto 9.6.1 that works on El Capitan and Sierra. In all that you mention, with iPhoto and Aperture EOL'd, simplify your work flow and move to Lightroom.ДЄctually the app iPhoto was useful for as long as I did not upgrade, i.e. Really, pick one horse and ride it, would be my suggestion.

So you're using iPhoto, Aperture and Lightroom? Three different Photo Managers? Makes as much sense as three address books, but whatever. Now you can remove that from your considerations. I'm just telling you what your options are for migrating. Personally, I also prefer iPhoto to Photos, but that does not change the fact that Photos is more powerful both as a manager and as an editor and at integrating with other applications.ДЄll that is required to have both of these apps available is that you have an up-to-date version associated with an App Store account. Not warning users which apps will become inoperative it is a truly stupid policy and I thought Apple was better than that. Like many others on these forums I did not except applications like iPhoto and Aperture to be made inoperative with warning. In any case why all the time wasting hoops, just make it downloadable under say a legacy download area, where the conditions of use etc are clearly stated. I do have an appropriate version if iPhoto, but it does not show up in the App Store for updating/installing no matter what I do. 'If you do not have an appropriate version of iPhoto then why did you update?' The result is I will try alternative products and start to drift away from Apple in the long run. These messy upgrades are fundamentally undermining my experience of using Apple products of which I have many. Where purchased apps become inoperative without warning and on balance the 'upgrades' offer very little to the user but seem to be mostly about Apple sucking more user data back to Apple. I suggest Apple have a careful look at user attitudes to 'upgrades' where it is becoming clear 'upgrades' are more like 1 step forward and 2 back. If I knew that these iPhoto, Aperture and Mail would create a mess for me to clean up I would not have bothered updating, and left this as an non-internet machine. Sure I use Lightroom but iPhoto was used in a different way for different purposes.ДЄctually the app iPhoto was useful for as long as I did not upgrade, i.e. 'to Adobe Lightroom, via their import iPhoto Library tool' Well that was a pretty dumb decision and is certainly user unfriendly! 'There is no app that can give you continuity for your books or other print products.'

I also preferred to have Aperture available. In any case this is just your opinion, the fact is many people seem to prefer iPhoto to Photos. Some particularly crucial elements like accurate preview of final products that are important. If you do not have an appropriate version of iPhoto then why did you update?Д«y looking at the comparison table between iPhoto and Photos it is clear Photos has reduced functionality in some areas. Again this has been the case since September 2015.

If you do not have this then you simply cannot update to iPhoto v9.6.1. If you have a version of iPhoto v9 (sometimes called iPhoto 11) associated with an App Store account then you can update easily, like everyone else. Given that this has been the case now since 2015, I'm not sure what other migration path you're hoping for.ДЈ. There is no app that can give you continuity for your books or other print products. You will lose your connection between edited and original in this process. You gave three options for a migration path from iPhoto.Д«: to Adobe Lightroom, via their import iPhoto Library toolД¬: any other migration will involve some version of exporting from iPhoto to the Finder, and then importing to the other app. It isn't an exact feature match, but it is undeniably more powerful in every area.Дў. Photos has far more functionality that iPhoto ever had.
