![]() Use PowerPhotos to find duplicate photos in one or more libraries, view them side by side, and delete the extra copies to save space on your drive and in iCloud. It’s easy to have multiple copies of the same photo creep into your photo collection over time. Splitting your photos between multiple libraries helps Photos open more quickly, lets you archive older photos, store some of your collection on an external hard drive, and reduce storage space used by iCloud Photo Library. Instead of being limited to putting all your photos in a single library, PowerPhotos can work with multiple Photos libraries, giving you many more options for how to organize your ever growing photo collection. Video introduction Features Create and manage multiple libraries Find and eliminate duplicate photos, split up your library into smaller ones, merge libraries together, open libraries in separate windows, export photos/albums, and more. PowerPhotos works with the built-in Photos app on your Mac, providing an array of tools to help you get your photo collection in order. That would be like dumping thousands of photos into a big box without any way to locate the photos we are seek.PowerPhotos 2.0 is now available! Existing PowerPhotos 1.0 and iPhoto Library Manager users receive a 50% discount when upgrading with their old license key. What I worry about is that Mac has created a situation that will ultimately eat my organization if not my cherished images. I have tried to move my photos file by file but it appears that ” photos” does not recognize images that were stored in iphoto. But as a last effort, he installed a newer version of iphoto that would work on my new computer and all of my old photos suddenly appeared and organization was back,īut the “genius” at my local Mac Store told me that Apple will no longer support iphoto and if i try to convert my iphotos to Photos as per the instructions above I will loose all of my organization. I called Mac support and the tech there tried to help but could not find my images. Also, and equally important, my organization (albums & folders) did not transfer to Photos. My data was transferred when my old Mac died several months ago but iphoto did not transfer and many images were missing from the Photos program. In the meantime, you can always create new libraries and use separate libraries by switching between them by using the Option key on Photos app launch. Being able to directly merge libraries together would be pretty useful, so it’s possible that such a feature could be introduced into future versions of Photos for OS X. You can do that through the File > Import menu item, or by dragging and dropping images from one library into another using the file system. If you’d like to merge two different libraries, well, at the moment, there is no way to directly perform a merging of an iPhoto library with a Photos library without manually intervening and importing photos on your own. If you already have a busy Photos library, you’re going to be working with two different image libraries now, which is why it’s generally best to allow Photos app to pull in your iPhoto or Aperture library on first launch. ![]() Let Photos app import the iPhoto library, it should happen almost immediately but very large libraries or those stored on slower external volumes may take some time.Otherwise, select “Other Library” and navigate to the location of the iPhoto library you wish to import into Photos app, then open it as usual.If you see the iPhoto library in the list, simply select it and choose “Choose Library” to open it within Photos app. ![]() ![]() Relaunch the Photos app and immediately hold down the Option key until you see the Library selection screen, then choose one of the following options:.Quit out of Photos app (and iPhoto) if you haven’t done so already.Moving an iPhoto Library into Photos App of OS X Much like making an entirely new Photos library in OS X, you’ll need to use the Option key during application launch to be able to migrate an iPhoto library into Photos app.
