Abandonment of customers using Photos print products

Apple's cessation of their print product service in Photos after September 30 leaves customers other than those using High Sierra with no effective integrated service. Mimeo can only be downloaded for the High Sierra OS. Even if it was available for earlier versions of the OS - I have El Capitain because I wish to retain Aperture and other applications - the cost of delivery by Mimeo to the UK and Europe is unacceptable. Apple have effectively abandoned customers other than those using High Sierra. Are there any other Photos extensions providing the full range of Apple's print product services which work with earlier OS's and which are delivered efficiently into Europe?

Every last one of the Project Extensions listed by Apple in this article require High Sierra 10.13 or later for installation.

Unaware of Project Extensions that will work with Yosemite → El Capitan versions of Photos. Perhaps the vendors listed in the preceding link also offer an older solution for this gap from their home pages. Worth checking. Only these vendors can address your shipping to Europe criteria.

Another possibility is exporting the photo book to PDF, and choosing your own local source for a photo album.

You might want to share your concern with the Photos project team via feedback.

I very much appreciate your helpful information and advice. I have provided feedback to the Photos project team. This decision by Apple will result in many people in the photographic community taking their business elsewhere and finding local solutions.

Many thanks

Hi Anum,

I work for PrestoPhoto and we have recently launched an app that supports Yosemite 10.10 and forward for projects created in Apple Aperture, Photos and iPhoto. You can learn more about our PrestoPhoto App and Apple Photo Book Printing - PrestoPhoto.

As for shipping, all of our products are produced and shipped from the US. We offer a flat rate shipping option called SuperSaver Shipping which can be applied for all orders over $30 USD and less than $250 USD. This option costs $14.99 USD.
