Iphoto Catalina Upgrade

I upgraded to Catalina and now I don't have iPhoto anymore. Would like to have it back.

When I tried to open the iPhoto library with the newer Photos App, it wanted to upgrade the entire iPhoto library. Here’s how to access an individual photo from an old iPhoto library. If you go to your home directory, there is a folder called ‘Pictures’ where Apple stores all your photos. When Apple executives released the new application called Photos in the spring of 2015, they left open a very short window in which iPhoto fans could download and install version 9.6.1 of iPhoto, which is the end of the line for that application.

Upgrade

When you open a library created by an earlier version of iPhoto, you might see a message that says 'Library version too old. Please upgrade your library 'iPhoto Library' using the free iPhoto Library Upgrader available from Apple.'

The iPhoto Library Upgrader prepares libraries from iPhoto '08 (v7.x) or earlier so that you can use them with the current version of iPhoto or Photos for OS X. If your library was created by iPhoto '09 (v8.x) or later, you don't need to use this tool.
