"Upgrade" to Photos?

When upgrading to Photos for mac from iPhotos for Mac I lost all my individual picture comments. Is there anyway to restore them or to go back to iPhotos that still have my comments?

OBS MacBook Pro (15-inch 2.4/2.2 GHz), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

Photos is not an upgrade to iPhoto (although it in many, many ways is much better), it is a new and different program with a learning curve like any new program


what are you calling comments? There are photo titles, descriptions and location, keywords - and all of those migrate from iPhoto to Photos - in Photos you have to enable their view under the view menu ==> metadata checking the ones you want to see


how metadata is migrated is described here Details of how Photos handles the migration from iPhoto
