Have told Apple my needs as you suggest. Very disappointed that my photographs are shown on a stark white and distracting background since upgrading to Photos - didn't expect a backward step !
I'm trying to run both Photos and iPhoto, choosing the one that best suits me at the time but it seems that Keywords attached in one don't carry through to the other - another disappointment. You'd think that as they are using the same photo library any new Keyword applied in either Photos or iPhoto would be applied to the image and be viewable in both Photos and iPhoto - however this does't seem to be the case. Thanks for your comment.
