As with iOS, the Photos app in OS X El Capitan now supports third-party extensions: That means other apps can plug directly into the Photos interface to give you quicker access to more effects and tools. Here’s how to get started with the new feature.
First and foremost you need to install an app or two that supports the new feature—right now there aren’t too many that have been given the necessary upgrade, but Affinity, Tonality and BeFunky Express are three apps that offer Photos integration already (we’re using the latter here).
With your photo editing app of choice installed on your Mac, open up the System Preferences from the Apple menu then click Extensions and Photos. Put a tick next to all the apps you want to use inside the Photos interface. Next, open up the Photos app to get at your pictures.
Double-click on an image to select it, then choose Edit and Extensions. Pick your app and the tools available inside it are now available right from the Photos app — the options listed will vary from program to program but you should be able to use them as you normally would.

Guns for Beginners: Castle Doctrine and The Duty to Retreat
Earlier this week, NASA uploaded an incredible treasure trove of images to a new gallery on Flickr: unprocessed photographs from all of the manned Apollo missions. They represent an incredible look into what the astronauts saw on their missions to the moon.
NASA’s astronauts are known for taking some of the world’s best pictures, but this gallery is a chance to see the raw results: untouched and unprocessed pictures of space. They’re high-resolution images that are perfect for reprocessing.
You can check out the entire gallery here, but we’ve pulled out some of our favorites from the over 8,400 images:

WASHINGTON—Researchers at the Urban Institute published a study Friday confirming that a sharp increase in gun sales nationwide would be the most concrete result of the impassioned pro-gun-control speech that President Obama delivered following yesterday’s mass shooting in Oregon. “According to our analysis, by far the most tangible impact of the president emotionally urging the nation to consider how their votes can prevent mass shootings like this will be a 17 percent spike in revenue for firearm vendors across the U.S.,” said report co-author Kyle Bieler, who found a direct link between the estimated $58 million uptick in gun sales over the next month and Obama’s use of the phrases “common-sense legislation,” “only advanced country,” and “not enough.” “The portion of the president’s remarks in which he asked for support from state legislatures and governors will, based on our projections, nearly double the number of …

Atom Central recently published these four unreleased videos of atomic bomb testing in 1955. The footage, taken from Operation Teapot at the test site in Nevada, is in glorious HD so it’s pretty incredible but watch out for the blinding light. Even in a small little YouTube window, it hurts.

I love me a good breakfast burrito. They’re great for when you’re on the go, and if you’re generous with the stuffing, they can really fill you up. But if you’re like most busy American men, you just don’t have time to whip up a breakfast burrito in the mornings. Sure, you could do one […]

What could be more awe-inspiring than a super blood moon eclipse? Oh, I dunno, how about a super blood moon eclipse over a lightning storm? That’s the jaw-dropping scene photographer Jose Antonio Hervás managed to capture this past Sunday over Ibiza, an island off southeastern Spain.
The image above was digitally constructed from over 200 individual photographs, all captured from the same location during the course of the rare astronomical event Sunday night. Soak it in, Earthlings–the next opportunity for a shot like this isn’t coming until 2033.
