Got a message that iPhoto is no longer compatible with iOS 8. I guess apple feels that the new photos app makes up for the editing features in iPhoto.
Got a tip for us?

I get that message as well. I'm not sure if they are going to drop iPhoto or Rename and rerelease when ios 8 goes live.
They may well release an update to iPhoto when iOS 8 launches next week. Photos isn't due out til later I believe.
I bloody home so! I'm sure as hell not abandoning iPhoto if photos can't do journals and all the editing that iPhoto can do.
I love iPhoto it does the job on my iPad 3, and i would hate for it to be completely killed off and not compatible with iOS8. But since the announcement of the photos App at the iOS8 announcement back in June, i don't see iPhoto being supported by Apple.
But I would hope this would not be the case though.
Photo journals is my favourite part of iPhoto

I was just searching for info on this also, a number of places are saying iphoto is going to be dropped. That sucks.
Yea, I don't like it. That's why I installed iphoto and got the migration notice.
Anyone have any problems migrating photos from iPhoto? My process started then crashed and now every time (even after reboot) when I start Photo it shows then pops up a migrating photos message that instantly crashes the app. I can no longer access photos.
Are you serious?
I purchased an Apple created app that Apple, for no reason other than to assert it's dominance on its users, removed, sorry if I think I should get a refund, then again I am not a blindly devoted apple fanboy like some people....
Should users of the iPhone 4 get a refund because ios8 won't work on their device? Same difference..
Its exactly the same, as technology advances, so does the ability to use older products
Just a note for those who watch their storage closely: even though iPhoto is unusable in ios8, it does not automatically get deleted. I deleted the app and regained back like 300+ mb.
Claiming that technology has moved on and the camera app is suppose to replace iPhoto is a terrible excuse. Your options of controlling things like white balance, warm/cools, greens, and saturation has been replaced by a generic colors slider. This is a step backwards.
There is no reason iPhoto couldn't work in iOS 8. Nothing but a power play here.

No it wasn't clumsy at least not on the iPad. The new solution is what is clumsy. Can you find me an App that will open my photo journals, projects, tags and everything I have been working on for the last 2.5 years in iPhoto? . People who think iPhoto is clumsy thats fine, go use the under featured Photos APP. People who actually want to get work done should be able to continue using iPhoto.
I paid money for iPhoto and should be able to continue using it.
This is purely Apple sticking the middle finger up at loyal customers/prosumers.

iPhoto had way more options than the photo app does in iOS8. Yet ANOTHER application that I paid good money for, that Apple have dropped because they've forced (and they do) an iOS update on me.
Give me back my money you utter thieves!
