Update for iPhoto 8

Apparently, iCloud won't backup my photos because my iPhoto version is too old, but when I try to purchase the update from the app store, it tells me that

iPhoto can’t be installed on “Macintosh HD” because OS X version 10.9 or later is required.

I don't have 10.9, just 10.8.5. I just got it this week, and have no intention of going 10.9 yet.



On the other hand, if I click on iPhoto Update in iPhoto 8, the message I get is

A New Version of iPhoto is available as part of iLife 11

which leads to several pages describing all parts of iLife, then it goes into iCloud and how to set it up. A real Catch-22!



Can you help me with this?



Thanks!
