Goodbye iPhoto - How to move iPhoto data to Photos on iOS 8

According to The Loop, apple officially announced that it will stop the development of Aperture and iPhoto. iPhoto, an iOS and OS X cross-platform image management tool, is part of the previous iLife software suite; Aperture is a professional photographer-oriented photo management software, with management of pictures gallery, advanced features of batch processing.

Now iPhoto is not available on iOS 8. Here I will show you how to move iPhoto data to Photos.

How to migrate iPhoto data:

• Tap iPhoto app on your device.
• Then "Migrate data from iPhoto to Photos" dialogue pops up.
• Tap Migrate to continue.
• Please note that if you delete iPhoto from your iDevice before you successfully transfer your data, then you can’t migrate your data.

What will be migrated to Photos:

• Photos in your iPhoto library but aren’t already in Photos.
• The adjustments you made in iPhoto.

What can be seen in Photos:

• Those photos hidden in iPhoto don’t appear in the Years, Moments, or Collections views in Photos, but are placed in an album titled Hidden.
• Photo Books, Web Journals, and Slideshows are converted into regular albums in Photos. Text and layouts are not preserved.
• Only projects created on the device performing the migration will be converted. Projects you synced from other devices to iPhoto via iCloud must be converted from the devices on which they were created.
• Photos marked as Favorites in iPhoto are marked as Favorites in Photos.
• Tags and captions from iPhoto are not displayed in Photos, but you can use them as search terms and they will show up respectively as Keywords and Titles in Photos search results.
• Flags from iPhoto are converted to the keyword Flagged.
