Q: Copy location from one photo to another in Photos
I am using the Photos application under OSX Yosemite, having updated to it from the older iPhoto application.
I take my pictures with both iPhone (which adds GPS or geolocation data to the images) and my D-SLR (which does not).
I like to copy the location data from the iPhone images to the D-SLR images, to provide accurate location data for all.
In iPhoto, this was easy to do, and easy to find.
How can I do something like this in Photos?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

That is not yet possible in Photos. You cannot assign locations to photos.
Assign the locations using a different application, for example iPhoto, and only then import the photos to Photos.
The next version of Photos to be released with El Capitan in the fall will allow to assign locations to photos.
See the preview: Apple — OS X El Capitan
Everything in its place.
Photos has been fine-tuned to make it even easier to manage your library. Now you can add a location to a single image or to an entire Moment. Naming your favorite people in Faces is faster with a streamlined workflow. You can also sort your albums — and the contents inside them — by date, title, and more.
