The Photos for OS X was announced by apple in an event where Apple promised it would see an “early 2015″ release.

According to Reviews of the Photos for OS X app, it’s said to be a suitable replacement for iPhoto with its speed improvements and better tools than were found in iPhoto. Although it lacks many power features like plug-ins, a loupe, brushable adjustments, and custom metadata fields.
