Hello Graeme,

Not changes made to iPhoto - 'Photos For Mac' is New.

For full coverage of Photos for Mac, see Jason Snell’s description in “Initial 
Impressions of Photos for OS X Beta” (9 February 2015) — nothing significant 
seems to have changed from the beta. 
Jeff Carlson also reviewed Photos for Macworld; his conclusion is that it’s 
faster than iPhoto but less powerful than Aperture.

Be sure to check out the early-bird version of Jason’s “Photos for Mac: A Take 
Control Crash Course,” which helps you decide whether to transition to Photos 
right away, walks you through importing your iPhoto and Aperture photo 
libraries, and explains how to handle key organizational tasks. A free update 
in May will add coverage of iCloud Photo Library, editing and sharing photos, 
creating prints and other projects, and more.

Another article worth reading:
