I recently updated to Photos. Now, when I am using my photo processing software, such as Flare or FX Photo Studio, I do not have the usability as I did before.

For example, I cannot drag and drop photos from Photos to the processing program. Nor can I save them directly from the processing program to Photos, it is not an option. I have to save it as a jpeg in finder, then open "other" and select Photos. Is this a Photos issue or a software issue? I did not have these issues when using iPhoto. I have Yosemite 10.10.3, and all photo processing software is the latest version.

Additionally, Photos is not even a topic to choose from in this forum yet, they still have only iPhotos listed under the "Life" category. Is Apple planning increasing its Photos support as iPhoto is phased out?

It is caused by the system upgrade to Yosemite. The new Photos.app has been designed using the newer frameworks in Yosemite, and the older applications need updates to be fully compatible with the way newer applications are sharing content in Yosemite.

Photos is not an iLife application, is is Part of MacOS X 10.10.3 and the forum is listed under system software.
