yes, I saw this article before. In app store there is no category Extensions for Photos. How we’re going to find them ? not clear at all.

Here’s how to find extensions in the US App Store at the moment: There’s an “Apps for Photographers” item in the rotation of featured items at the top of the main page. It has an “Editing Extensions for the Photos App” section at the top.I imagine that Apple will add a similar group in the Photography category at some point.—Mark On Oct 4, 2015, at 12:14 AM, Zalman Lazkowicz zlazkow@yahoo.com [gcmac] <gcmac@yahoogroups.com> wrote:yes, I saw this article before.

For myself I’ve found it quite easily. I copy the name of the app from the article, for example: “BeFunky Express” then I open the app store on my mac and paste that into the search field. It was easy to download, and I looked at several others which were pricey at around $15 each… I then follow the instructions in the article on how to activate it in the photos app. On Oct 3, 2015, at 10:14 PM, Zalman Lazkowicz zlazkow@yahoo.com [gcmac] <gcmac@yahoogroups.com> wrote:yes, I saw this article before.
