Change the referenced files photo library photos

I know that I can import pictures into a photo library in the form of referenced files. But if I already imported pictures directly in the library can I reinstall them on an external drive?

No, is not possible in Photos.The only thing you can do is to group them in your library and turn it into managed photos.

To transform the photos managed photo referenced, you need to export them, delete them from your library and reimport them. Referenced photos are weakly supported in Photos. I'd only in this way, your photo library is too large for a single disc.

    You should use the alt attribute for this sort of thing, or you might have a legend hidden with 17 languages, if you do not want to display on the web page.

    In addition, the following file locations is not found because they no longer exist. So why the backup wizard continues to look for and how to remove the backup set? I guess the error code following each line means simply that records cannot be found. Is this correct?

    1. In Windows Explorer, right-click the file or folder you want to work with.

    3. In the name list box, select the user, contact, computer, or group to which you want to display permissions. If the permissions are grayed out, this means that the permissions are inherited from a parent object.
