I cannot access old photos from IPhoto

I cannot access old photos from IPhoto that I backed up onto a My Passport for Mac hard drive. When I try to view them it says I can't view the files because IPhoto no longer exists. How can I view these photos on my new macbook pro?

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.14

Was the passport formatted as MacOs Extended (Journaled)?


Anyway, Launch Photos with the option key held down. From the resulting dialog, point to the iPhoto library on the external drive. Photos will create a new Photos Library with your iPhoto media.
