Is there a way to get iPhoto back after updating to photos beta for mac?

I recently purchased a new macbook air. I wanna transfer all my photos from my current iMac to my new laptop. I have several problems though. I did the beta program and i'm running 10.10.3 on my iMac. as a part of having 10.10. 3, you get the photos beta and no longer get access to iPhoto. i see no way of backing up your photos to an external HD using that program. There's nothing online regarding the matter either. I don't think this beta of 10.10.3 is very good either. I want to use the regular 10.10. 2. That's why i don't simply just use Time Machine. Does anyone have any tips?

i see no way of backing up your photos to an external HD using that program.
You do it exactly the same way as you do with iPhoto.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
The Photos beta does nothing to iPhoto. It coexists with it. Did you ever have iPhoto on the machine?
The only way to roll back an update when you don't have a back up is to erase the disk and start over.
