Opening a photo in PS from 'Photo"

[JTGB]

I have just switched to a Macbook from using Windows all my life and all of that intuitive stuff is no longer of any use to me! The Mac OS is SO different
All I want to know is how to open a photo in Photoshop directly from the "Photo" app. For the life of me I can't work out how to do it! PLEASE help, thanks.

You would not open a photo in Photoshop from the Photo app - that would be like opening a document in Word directly from the Pages app.

You should export the photo in question and then use Photoshop to open it either from Photoshop itself or from a Finder window.

It should be possible to just drop the image onto Photoshop's dock icon (using the mouse).

In iPhoto right clicking on an image gives the option to "Edit in external program", which can be Photoshop, for example.

So yes, we could open a photo in Photoshop from iPhoto.

This no longer exists in Photos.app

Dragging the image onto the Photoshop's dock icon works, though.
