How can I transfer a photo library (raw and jpeg files) fram without loss of metadata and keywords?
How can I transfer my favorite photos library on my MacBook to another library on an external hard drive without losing metadata and keywords?
If you want to keep the metadata, you must export the images as the current versions, edited. File > export > export... images. Then you can turn on the indicator "Tile, keys, descriptions words":
Choose a high quality for JPEG, not to lose quality. To the RAWs export them under like TIFF picture.
You can export the RAWs as "file > export > export original unmodified" and keep it RAW, but which will not include the metadata. And the Photos will allow you to export an XMP file with metadata, but when I tested, it did not apply the metadata when you import the RAW files again. So the best compromise for the RAW format would be to export as TIFF, another lossless format.

How can I transfer my photos to an external HD mediathek?
I m using an iMAC with OS X 10.11.1 El Capitan and Fotos 1.2 9.1.
Hi NordundSued,
If you want to store your photo library on an external drive, the process is as simple as (after checking that the photo is not open) copy the existing photo library on the external hard drive, and then at the opening of the Photos with the option key and choosing this library. Once you have verified that the library works correctly from the external hard drive, you can go ahead and delete the original if you want to free up space.
By default, your system library is stored in the folder of images on your Mac, but you can move it to another location on your Mac, or store it on an external storage device. To use iCloud services, however, the external storage device must be formatted using the format Mac OS extended (journaled), also known as HFS +.
Switch between any libraries
If photo is open, choose Photos > Photos of quit smoking.
Hold down the Option key and double click on the Photos icon in the Applications folder (or click on the pictures of the Dock icon) to open the pictures.
In the select Library dialog box, do one of the following:
Click the library that you want to use, then click on choose a library.
If the library you want does not appear in the select Library dialog box, click other library, navigate to the location of the library, select it, then click on choose a library.
Designate a library as the library of the system
You can switch to another library and designate as the photo library of the system. For more information on the considerations to keep in mind when it designates another picture of system library, see Overview of the system of the library.
To designate the current library as the library of the system:
Choose Photos > Preferences, click general, and then click on use as Photo library system.
Important: If you switch to another library, Photos automatically turns off all iCloud services. To use iCloud photo library, iCloud, sharing photos and my photo stream with a library of pictures newly designated system, you must activate them again in the Photos of iCloud preferences pane. When you turn on iCloud library after designation of a new library system, photos stored in iCloud are merged with those of the Photo library new system. Once the new Photo system library content is downloaded to iCloud, libraries cannot be split, so it's a good idea to look carefully before modifying your library system.

Yes. Indeed if you use iCloud photo library and delete a picture of the Photos app on your Mac, it will be also deleted icloud.

How can I transfer a full file size of a photo taken with my iPhone 6 from my phone to my computer. ? The largest size that I've been able to transfer is 1.9 MB. I tried to send the file to myself, download dropbox and Airplay. Is it possible that I can transfer the file full 8 megabytes so that I can use it in Lightroom? Thank you.
I think you may be confusing the specification of 8 megapixels of the camera of the iPhone with the size of the file. The following, although not specifically about the iPhone, may help explain the difference. https://support.nikonusa.com/app/Answers/Detail/A_ID/16733/~/Why-doesn ' t thread e-size-equal-the-number-of-megapixels-in...
