We explain how to edit your photos using the Mac Photos app. Including: how to add filters to your photos and make other adjustments to make them perfect, such as removing red-eye and adjusting.

  1. Aug 24, 2015  To test this theory, I deleted my iPhoto library on my other Mac to see how much storage was freed up. For those wondering, my iPhoto library was 35.99 GB and my Photos library was 41.16 GB. You can see the before and after results on my hard disk space below. I was able to.
  2. The only Apple merge of libraries appeared in Aperture. You could use a third party option like iPhoto allowed, but the main method of merging is to export the photos in whatever organization you want (album oriented) on one Library to the filesystem and then import those into the remaining library. This loses ratings, albums, faces, etc. But not geolocation and edits if you are exporting.
  3. By default, iPhoto is a photo management program which comes standard on every Mac computer. But if you want change your Mac computer to Windows PC, then you need to transfer you all data from Mac to Windows PC. The most important thing is your photos and videos. You can transfer all your photos from iPhoto to Windows with simple steps.
  4. My favorite method to merge two different Photos libraries is as follows: 1. Pick the 'main' library you want to drop the content into. You'll lose information such as your albums and other data besides the photos from the other library.
  5. Jun 21, 2017  Multiple Libraries in Photos and iPhoto.
  6. One way to completely hide those images, though, is to segregate them from your existing iPhoto Library into a separate one, so that someone who was poking around on your Mac would have to have.

The ultimate toolbox for Photos on your Mac

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.

Create and manage multiple libraries

Remedy for multiple itunes libraries on mac. 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.

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.

Move your iTunes library to another computer. If you get a new computer, you can transfer your iTunes library by connecting computers or by using iPod or a portable drive. See the Apple Support article Back up and restore your iTunes library on your PC. Importing itunes library from external hard drive to mac mini Nov 10, 2019  iTunes will load that library and automatically adjust its settings to make that the default iTunes folder while you're using it. Assuming you followed all the steps in the backup process (most importantly consolidating and organizing your library), you'll be able to use your iTunes library on the external hard drive just like it was on your main hard drive.
