Q: How to print project with jacket in Photos
In iPhoto I can Print Preview a Project and it will present a PDF with its jacket as the first page. In Photos this does not seem to be the case because when I Preview a Project the jacket is not included. Can someone tell me how to have the jacket in the PDF please? Thank you
Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Well that is silly because thats a step backwards from iPhoto. And no I cannot stick with iPhoto because Yosemite forced me to upgrade to Photos.
iPhoto 9.6.1 is running well on Yosemite. Apple released this compatibility update to make it possible to use iPhoto for thise who need features of iPhoto, that are not yet available in Photos. It is not compulsory to use Photos, only because this new application has been released with Yosemite.
If you can update iPhoto to version 9.6.1, export the photos you want to use in your book from Photos and create the book in iPhoto.
You can open iPhoto Libraries in Photos, but you cannot open Photos libraries in iPhoto. That migration is one way.
Barney-15E's user tip explains how to update to iPhoto 9.6.1 by reinstalling your purchase. See this link: Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS X 10.10.3
As a workaround to use the PDF preview to get your book printed at a local print shop, duplicate the PDF preview. Delete the cover and the back and the flaps from the original, so it starts with the first photo page. You can do this in the Preview.app if you reveal the sidebar in preview. And from the copy of the PDF delete all inside pages, so you have a file with only the front and back cover. Your printer should be able to print a cover from this and bind the book correcly. Or ask at the store what is needed.
