Photo program for Mavericks?

I just installed Mavericks in place of Snow Leopard. All my pictures are here, but it says it does not use the iPhoto program. What do I use? Thanks.

MacBook Air (11-inch Late 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

You need to upgrade iPhoto to the Mavericks version. You can purchase the upgrade on the App Store. If you meet certain requirements you may be able to upgrade for free:

The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.

iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.

You need iPhoto '11 version 9.5.1 - backup your iPhoto library and update/upgrade iPhoto to (free update if you own any version of iPhoto '11 - paid upgrade if your own iPhoto '09 or earlier) 9.5.1 in the App store - If you have iPhoto '08 or earlier download the Photo library upgrader and run it (it will install in the utilities folder in your applications folder) and then launch iPhoto to finish the upgrade

This is BSchmaltzy replying to BSchmaltzy, since one other person has the question. I found on the App Store that I could download a new version. I am in the process of doing it. The reviews indicate that some have had problems, but I decided to give it a try.

Probably it is too late for the advice, but make sure you have a backup of your iPhoto Libraries, before you open them the first time in the newest iPhoto. iPhoto will need to upgrade the libraries, and it is safer to keep copies of the older versions, just in case you need to revert to an earlier iPhot version or in the rare case, that something should go wrong.
