How can I move photos from a Photo library on my Mac to a library of photos in an external drive?

I have 10 GB of photos in a photo library on my Mac Air, which is running out of storage space. I would like to move the photos to another library of Photos in an external drive which already hosts most of my photo archives. How can I execute the move?

Thank you!

Marco.

Copy the library from the internal drive to the external drive. You can then open the library on the external hard drive by double clicking it and check, if the copy does not work.

Photos has no tools to merge libraries. You can use both libraries alternating, or export the photos of a library and import them into the other library.

Or use the application PowerPhotos to merge the two libraries move photos from one library to another.

You will need the full version and paid f PowerPhotos to do.

    How can I move contacts from my daughter from his iPhone on his iPad. I need to do this via iPad and iPhone that our computer just died. My daughter has no e-mail.

    I thought that some of my notes were missing, but it seems that some are stored in icloud and the other in different files associated with my personal email address.  How can I make sure that they are all on the icloud (in case I lose my phone, when I update my phone, etc.)?  How can I move them from one folder to another?  I not create separate records in the first place.

  • How can I move photos & video library?

    How can I move a few photos and some video clips from one library to another library?

    I created 2 libraries and want to better organize my photos and videos by moving a selection of photos and videos of the first library in my second library.

    How can I do this? Please helppppp

    Photos has no tool to move photos between libraries.

    Do it manually by exporting pictures of the first library with "file > export > export original unmodified" and then import export photos and videos of the other library.  After you have verified that they mattered much, remove them from the original library.

    Move photos between libraries is easier with PowerPhotos.  Check it out at PowerPhotos ( software of Fat Cat-PowerPhotos)

    There is a problem, however.  You cannot move, it publishes versions between librarues, so that the changes can be reversed.  The transfer will be frozen. You can move only the edited versions or original, or both, but not as a pair of the original and the version.

    set the fill of the cell

    Explanation of above: padding of
    20px from the top of the cell; 10px right; the bottom 15px; left 5px.

    It's just to give you an idea how you might use a padding.

  • How can I move images from Lightroom 5 to Lightroom CC 2015?

    I have pictures on lightroom 5 I can ' t in lightroom cc2015 access.  Why not all the images moved with the version update?

    I tried selecting them and then manually moving them, also exporting them but was not successful.  How can I move these images to new version?

    Thank you

    My suggestions-

    1. Uninstall LR5. It out of your system, you use it again.

    2. find your catalog file (a file of type. LRCAT) using the operating system (Windows Explorer / Mac Finder)

    3. open the xxx. LRCAT file (double click or Right click/open)

    As ManiacJoe says above-

    LR6/CC will transfer your data LR5 in a new catalog of LR6 format with a "-2" added at the end of the name; your catalog LR5 remains unchanged.

    4. When you then open Lightroom, the default catalog will be the converted catalog.

    Consider the catalog 'old' LR5 as a backup only. (If you try to open a second time, you will have an another LR6/cc catalog called xxx-2 - 2.lrcat)

    AND-you, the pictures are NOT IN LIGHTROOM! They exist in the folders on your computer. The Lightroom Catalog is a database that displays thumbnails that have a 'link' to your photos.

    AND you don't have to "Move" anything! Everything remains exactly where it was, (Images, catalog)

  • You bird used on mac; now use it on pc. How can I move emails from mac to pc (windows 8)?

    I had to completely abandon my macbook pro and am now using a computer laptop windows 8 instead. About 7 years of emails are locked in a time machine backup, I performed on the MBP, before becoming completely unusable. I've already started using you bird on my laptop, so how can I transfer my emails from the external hard drive to the Mac format on my pc? I use Mac Drive to be able to see the contents of the hard drive.

    So that you don't overwrite the current profile, I'd say you create a new profile using the Profile Manager and create a Profile Manager shortcut on your desktop. Then, you can choose to open the profile desired to see old messages.

    Then locate the profile on the mac disk folder.

    Copy the contents of the profile folder and paste, replace the default entries in the new profile.
