Q: How to migrate photos from iPhoto to Photos after I made further changes with iPhotos?

After the initial migration to Photos, I have read that changes in iPhotos wont apply to Photos. That makes a lot of sense, but can I a migrate my photos from iPhoto to Photos once in a while for those changes to be seen in the app Photos?

 

I use OS X Yosemite 10.10.5, iPhoto 9.6.1 and Photos 1.0.1.

 

Thank you very much!

    two choices

     

    1- migrate again (this will not keep any changes made in Photos after the initial migration so you would have to export them and import in to the newly migrated library 

     

    2 - export the modified photos from iPhoto and import to Photos
