Can I use Time Machine to restore my machine to the iPhoto app without destroying the files that Photos has converted? I don't find Photos intuitive and I'm up against the clock on a project (Photoshop) and can't spend time learning how to access file I can see but can't access. Maybe at another time - I just want my old system and thousands of image back where they were.

did you delete iPhoto? I currently have iPhoto and Photos on my computer and both launch fine.– dwightkCommented May 7, 2015 at 20:05

No I didn't but although my machine is not much more than a year old iPhoto is out of date but the upgrade is not available in Canada. It worked until I installed Photos– JeffCommented May 7, 2015 at 20:12

What upgrade are you referring to? Apple generally releases software worldwide unless there is a specific reason not to.– tubedoggCommented May 7, 2015 at 21:34

Can't open iPhoto but 'Get Info' says version 9.6. Lots of stuff doesn't appear in Canada or if it does often after the U.S.– JeffCommented May 7, 2015 at 23:54

Yes, you can use Time Machine to restore iPhoto app and also the iPhoto library before the conversion of Photos app.
- You have to navigate through Time Machine backups and folder via Finder.
- Now go to Applications and restore the
iPhoto.app. - After that navigate to the folder containing your iPhoto library and restore it where you want without overwrite the converted Photos library.
- Exit from Time Machine.
- Open iPhoto and open the iPhoto library.
