I cannot scroll through my photos accurately. I find this programme really hard to operate compared to iPhoto. Where can I determine the size of my photos as a size not a ratio? Thank you
It isn't. That is what i expected to happen but it doesn't so it is impossible for me to view photos with any control.
The scroll bar will reveal itself when you drag the page up or down a little.
You can see the size of an image in the info window (window > info)
I have set the System Preferences to always show the Scroll bars. This way it is easier to tell at the first glance which panels can be scrolled.
Try these System > Preferences > General: This way also the Adjustment panel and other panels will show the scrollbars.
That's how it works. Check out the images below, in particular how in the second image where I have moved the photos down, the scroll bar has now appeared.

Have you all metadata enabled in the menu "View > Metadata"?
The file size is shown in the second section of the Info panel, to the right of the pixel size: What are you seeing there?
Sorry I should have said that i have it set to always. I am totally stumped. It is not the only issue I have with this new computer. I have never had any other computer system except Mac from my first computer over 20 years ago but I'm ready to get rid of this computer and go over to the other side. I have no end of hassles but when I go to get support they tell me there is nothing wrong ( yet they say my problems are unusual and it takes them ages to correct them) Please help me with this. I waste so much time and I can't keep wasting it.
Sorry my brain is not working well tonight. I have the scroll bar but no arrows to use it easily and find my photos accurately. I know I can use the arrows on my keyboard but that is a lot of repositioning as I keep going from trackpad to arrows etc constantly. You are a legend for helping thank you.
When I use the arrows it jumps on the initial use then works smoothly. As i have 1000's of photos on it which I'm trying to organise and sort it is really frustrating that i can't scroll up accurately.
Which version of Photos are you using? Which OS X version?
Could you post a screenshot of what you are seeing when you are scrolling, so we can compare it Winston Churchill's screenshot?

There have been no arrows on the scrollbars in OS X since OS X version 10.7. Lion.
The only thing you can do with scroll bars now is to click into the bar to advance to the point you click or to advance one page, depending on your setting.
If you have thousands of photos, scrolling is not an ideal way of searching. If you can't locate the photos you are looking for using an album structure or the search feature then you can change the moments view to a collections view or years view which allows you to move through far more photos more quickly.
You can change between moments, collections and years using the arrows at the top left of your window.
Really? Why would they delete something like that? That makes life so difficult. It seems all the simple things that make life easy and the reason I loved Mac have disappeared. Thank you for your help.
It's version 1.5, 10.11.5. I see what Winston churchill sees. Sorry i don't know how to do a screenshot on my laptop. I've never needed to before.
Maybe I'm just trying to cling to the way I know but I'm often looking for individual photos or scanned photos that aren't dated for the event. I guess that may be the best way but each event can also have sometimes 1000 photos at a time and I'm also noticing that the photos I imported from my phone ( a samsung my only break from apple) aren't actually in date order. Thank you for your help.

I assume the samsung phone is able to add the date correctly, therefore I wonder if you aren't looking in the wrong areas if you see your photos in the wrong order.
"All Photos" keeps photos in the order they were added, whereas "Photos" keeps them in the order they were taken. If you are looking in individual albums they will be listed according to what is selected at View > Sort.
How do I get scroll bars in photos? I am using el capitan
