You have iPhoto with Yosemite.  It isn't automatically on the dock.  You should be able to find it in Apps. 


 

That doesn't change the fact that it was replaced by photos. They are just letting the luddites keep using iphoto.

@LTT1, Sorry to hear about the problems.  I've used 8.3 with no problems (I always update iOS and OS X as soon as they're released, but I understand not everyone wants to be in the first group to use an official release).  I don't do a great deal of photo editing, though, and I stick with a few of the highest-rated free apps (like Aviary) for my very simple needs.

 

I wanted to make a suggestion.  You might try a shout-out to the poster Photo Donna.  She's a professional photographer and artist, and she uses Apple devices.  Another poster who does a lot of photo editing is chickenbutt, but I can't remember if she uses Apple devices.  I believe both of them might see a thread in Community Chat if you tried it there, but with all the forum changes...  not sure.

hth, and best of luck to you!

They did it!  

There is now a "swipe" "retouch" app for pictures/selfies/portraits and it is called "AirBrush"

Nearly all 5-star reviews and its FREE!  Happy Dance!

I have a 5S running on 9.1 and spent an hour on the phone with Apple recently.  I had to erase my phone.......first they "find my iPhone" and then going thru the cloud to get back my data.  Now, I have an issue with the "bell" ringing every 2 seconds if I don't turn the sounds off!  It's intermittent occurring sometimes, then not not!

 

my point is that you MUST have your settings on Apple Devices to automatically backup to,the cloud......then in the event of a problem, you can reload your data....photos, etc.

@LIPearl

Got a new phone today see pic...

I asked lots of questions... they (at Verizon, where we got the phone) I told them I had not backed up to the iCloud because we wanted to upload them all to dropbox.  They said "oh, no problem" and it was a breeze.

We came home with the new phone which had been activated.

Signed into iTunes with old phone... (joke my iTunes was wayyyyy out of date)

All of the phone data of old phone uploaded 

Then, plugged in new phone

All of the old phone data downloaded into new phone

 

VOILA...
