Photos Project Extensions Are Here
Apple is stopping the Print service support after September 30, 2018. Try to finish and order. your projects until that date.
After that date, we can only oder books and calendars using the Print project extensions in Photos 3 on High Sierra or Photos 4 (to be released this autumn).
See these documents:
- Use Project Extensions to order print products in Photos after September 30, 2018

As listed in this Apple support document: macOS 10.13 High Sierra now supports Photos Project Extensions, and the first extensions appeared at the Mac AppStore.

You can use third-party extensions to create projects such as print products, slideshows, and customized websites. Go to the Mac App Store and look for apps that include Photos project extensions, then download and install them to use them with Photos.
This is very good news indeed. I like to work with Photos for Mac, but the current support for projects (books, calendars, slideshows) is somewhat limited and basic.
I found the first apps, that offer project extensions at the App Store:
- ifolor designer: Create books, calendars, order prints, free
- GoodTimes Collages 21.99€
- Wix photo Albums: Online Web Galleries, free
- White Wall: Create Wall Arrangements of Photos, free
- Mimeo Photos: Photobooks, cards, calendars, free
Has anyone tried these new extensions and can give recommendations?
