With Yosemite you need to upgrade to iPhoto '11, version 9.6. It can only be installed from the App Store, as LexSchellings pointed out.
To install it
- Make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library. On no account risk the upgrade to iPhoto 9.6 without a full backup copy of the iPhoto Library.
- Sign into the AppStore with your AppleID (in the Store menu) and look at the Purchases tab.
- If there is iPhoto, with Accept beside it, accept it and install it.
- If iPhoto does not show among your Purchases, delete your current iPhoto from Applications. Don't empty the Trash.
- Then go to the main "featured" page of the AppStore and search for iPhoto there. Click the "Get" or "install" button beside iPhoto and install it.
If iPhoto is a version of iPhoto '08 or earlier, you need to download, install, and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader.
