    I'll guess you're referring to Photos.app as there hasn't been a new version of iPhoto. You can export using the File -> Export command. BTW that was never the way to use Photoshop with iPhoto...

     

     

    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

    Yes you are correct, it is photo app. I guess calling it iphoto is an old habit I will have to break. I had seen this solution in another thread but don't see that option in my preferences. I have included a screen cap, perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place? Screen Shot 2015-09-23 at 4.00.06 PM.png

    That's the preferences to the new Photos app, not iPhoto. The facility doesn't exist in Photos.

    Yet. Drag and drop will be there when Adobe adds the new protocol.

    Now you have to export the file, either file->export->export unmodified original to get the original image, or file->export->export X photo if you want to save edits you made in photos.

    That's a considerable drawback to the app. Thanks for clearing this up for me.
