Apple Releases OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 With Photos for OS X App, Emoji Updates

Photos is preparing my iPhoto library. I did multiple backups of the iPhoto libraries on my Mac first though just in case.
Hoping this fixes some of the Yosemite issues. Especially a user switching issue I've been having. I did a clean install with no migration of users on this machine two months ago and still having issues. Randomly when I switch b/t users (we have one for me, one for my wife, and one I use exclusively for work) it logs all users out and takes me to the login screen. I then have to reload everything that was going on in each user.

Yes file vault was enabled prior to this update. Isn't there a way to turn it off completely in the disk utility?
Forget it, just realised you have a Macbook Air, it's only a problem with 3rd party installed SSD's
It took over 48 hours of pure CPU usage for my Photos library... I think its scanning faces and processing thumbnails of all the images... My library is over 400GB.
All three of my Macs have FileVault enabled and all10.10.3 updates were smooth and painless.

Not true. GPS tagged photos are supported in Photos
But you can't edit/add GPS location info in Photos 1.0. Not yet anyway. I (and I hope thousands of others) filed bug reports on this in during the Photos beta. I'd bet we'll see it in Photos 1.1

Yes if you want to you can.
The new Preview won't open 7360 x 4912 jpgs. The image flashes briefly and is then replaced by a blank screen. If I ask for a thumbnail, I get that -- but only that.
Somewhat smaller images (for example, 7022 x 4661) will open and display properly.
But it will open and display 7360 x 4912 NEF files. This is hard to understand.
For me and my D810, this is very bad news.
Before 10.10.3 this was not an issue.
Anybody?

Slow download speed
Is anyone trying to download the Yosemite update and it taking super long?
It has been downloading the Yosemite update for 2.5 hours now and I just updated my iPhone through iTunes with no problem within 15-20 minutes.
Also, the Yosemite update is saying that there is still 6 hours remaining for the update to be finished!

Nope. Im downloading the Combo update (2GB) and its coming down as fast as my connection can go. Obviously you have ISP issues.
Thanks a waaay faster download, compared to the one via App Store. Everything went smooth, with Trim Enabler precautionally disabled.
+1, got that one too. Anyone?
You can, but because Photos uses hard links to the photos, it's not necessary. Here is an article at sixcolors.com describing what's going on. In sum, Photos does not duplicate the photos in the new library, but rather creates a new hard link to the original. Thus there is one photo, but links in both the iPhoto library and the new Photos library to the original photo. That way you can still access the photo in iPhoto if you choose, without using up extra space. This system works with the Aperture library too. Note, though, changes made in iPhoto (or Aperture) will not sync to the new Photos app.
EDIT: Note, my last sentence is inexact. The edited versions of the photos created before in the import into Photos will be imported. However, if you make changes in iPhoto after the import, those edits will not be reflected in the Photos library.

Just installed 10.10.3 and was able to delete iPhoto from Launchpad, which is a marked change from the betas.
I imported my iPhoto library to Photos in the beta sequence, then after ascertaining everything was moved over I deleted the iPhoto library entirely but couldn't delete the actual application. This is the first I've seen that we were able to just straight up delete the app.
