Since 2002, iPhotos and Photos on the Mac<\/a> have always offered the ability to create books, cards, and calendars, as well as to order prints of favorite photos. With the recent update to macOS 10.13.6, Apple quietly announced that it would no longer offer Photos Print Products after September 30, 2018. The announcement came in the form of a dialog that appears when selecting any of the File > Create options in Photos:<\/p>\n

That reduced the demand for printed photos and books, and as a result, the ability to create printed projects was never added to the iOS version of Photos. The current macOS 10.14 “Mojave” beta<\/a> also directs users to Project Extensions in the Mac App Store.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
