Q: why is photo giving my photos a double image

Pictures that have been imported from my iPhone 4 are suddenly showing up as a double image on one photo.

 

I hate this new photo program.  I photo was so much better.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

    Please explain or post a screen capture - I have no idea what you are asking

     

    And if you hate Photos then it is crazy to use it - iPhoto version 9.6.1 still works and there are many, many other programs you can choose to use - and or course you can learn how to use Photos

    See pictures below.  There is one tree and half the photo is missing.  The shadow picture is of a tower (one tower not two).  Can't figure out why this is happening.

    Repair the library according to the instructions in this Apple document: Repair Your Library.

    Note: If you use iCloud Photo Library with Photos, this action will cause Photos to upload all your pictures again (from Fix missing or incorrect thumbnails in Photos - Apple Support).

     

    Also the following may help make Photos a little friendlier:

     

    Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.

     

    When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there is a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.

     

    NOTE: It's been reported by several users that if the Event albums are moved out of the iPhoto Library folder in the sidebar they may disappear.  It's not widespread but several users have reported that issue.  Therefore, if you want to assure that you keep those Event albums don't move them outside the iPhoto Events folder.

     

    There's a way to simulate events in Photos.

    When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N.  Name it as desired.  It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder

     

    When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.

    Albums and smart albums can be sorted by Title, by Date with oldest first and by Date with newest first.

     

    Tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored or new features added in Photos via Apple-Photos Feedback.
