• How long "sweep of the face" in App Photos 100 000 photos?

  After update my Mac to the Sierra, the "photoanalysisd" keep treatment and looks than my photo library (100 000 photos) digitizing. Checking the status of scanning in Photos App, it took a full day to analyze only 9 000 photos (only 10% of my photo library). So, I have to wait 10 more days to complete his analysis. I didn't use the Photos App in the meantime. Is it really take that long for scanning?

  In addition, it seems to my Time Machine backup process to suck too.

  Any idea or something wrong?

  Thank you.

  Kind regards

  Is it really take that long for scanning?

  Yes. I did not attempt to achieve something more than a rough estimate, but I think it took about an hour to complete a library of about 1000 photos.

  When it's over... it's pretty amazing, but I'm not a professional photographer. Photos is no more than a simple organizational tool. For a person of 100 000 photographs you probably already an organization plan, then perhaps you will not find these automatic features also useful as I do.

• Performance problems with large Photo library size

  Did anyone seen performance issues when the library becomes too great? I used to keep a few different libraries, since some of my libraries are already 1 TB. So, if I merge into one, the file will be 2-3 Tb when it's said and done. Anyone know if it is recommended to size limits or is it more important with El Capitan. Obviously, the response time will be affected by the hard drive and the speed of the laptop, but before you begin merging into one file libraries, I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions/recommendations or other related advice. Thank you!

  It is not documented, but how many pictures a library can contain pictures, you can migrate photos iPhoto libraries and libraries Aperture, so you should be able to store at least 1 000 000 photos in a photo library.

  I haven't noticed any performance issue with a large library of Photos.  My largest library has 40000 photos.

  During the regular work with the size of the library is not serious at all, as long as you want to keep enough free storage on your system drive. Don't let the photo library fill in your system drive. Keep at least 10 GB free at all times, better more.

  However, there are rare occasions when the size will be discussed:

  • When you need repair library, it will take more time, if the library is large.
  • When you first migrate your libraries of photos, the initial treatment will take longer - scanning for faces and places, creating thumbnails.
  • If you use iCloud library synchronization can take a long time for a large library.
  • Too many smart albums can make pictures a little slower, if the library is large.  I noticed a drop in performance, after that I created 200 smart albums with a search for text across the entire library.

• How to manage a large library of Photos with iCloud

  I have an iMac with a 1 TB drive. El Capitan.

  I have a library of Photos that is 450 GB.

  I use NOT currently in iCloud photo library.

  Library to backup to external hard drive.

  I would switch to 500 GB SSD drive, so I need to cut the pictures library to adapt.

  I tried to read as much information, but I'm still not clear on some points.

  Hard to test on the great library.

  Traverse and the cleaning of a large library of Photo are your time, I'm looking for less than hands on options.

  My thought:

  1. upgrade to iCloud 1 TB storage Plan

  2. turn on iCloud photo library (original leave) and wait a few days/weeks/months to the great library to synchronize with iCloud.

  3. turn on iCloud photo library (optimized) on iPhone and iPad to synchronize all libraries and get all the originals to iCloud and then the iMac

  Q1. How much space will be a large library as it takes on an iOS device. I'm afraid that even an optimized library will fill 64 GB device.

  (I know that's dependent on media, but just looking for a guideline for iOS, I think OS X is 9to1)

  4. once everything is synchronized, copy the photo library in DHM (properly formatted) as a backup.

  5. start the on EHD photo library to ensure the proper functioning.

  6. allow photo library on iMac as the synchronized library. Don't want to keep always connected DHM.

  7 change library Photos optimized on the computer and let the full synchronization.

  This should give me a library optimized on the iMac and a complete library on the EHD.

  However, since the EHD are not the Central Library for iCloud synchronization, it will remain not being updated.

  Q2. Can I create another user account on the iMac with my iCloud settings and using EHD originals full as the main library?

  That would allow me to periodically plug JEP, throw the other user account and let pictures synchronize updates and get new originals.

  This would be mainly used as a backup plan, so I rely not only on iCloud himself.

  Is this a reasonable plan or I'm far from base.

  Kind regards

  Q1. How much space will be a large library as it takes on an iOS device. I'm afraid that even an optimized library will fill 64 GB device.

  (I know that's dependent on media, but just looking for a guideline for iOS, I think OS X is 9to1)

  My library has only about 200 GB on the Mac, with 40000 photos, but it's horrible on the iPad in an optimized version. Size is fine, he has been reduced to about 10% of its original size, but work with Photos is a pain, if each photo is just a fuzzy image and needs icloud download to view properly. Sometimes it takes a minute or more to recover the photo, so it is impossible to browse photos or making a slide show.  On the iPad, I returned to sync with iTunes, the albums selected. On the iPhone, it's not so bad, because the screen is smaller, and blurring is tolerable.

  Q2. Can I create another user account on the iMac with my iCloud settings and using EHD originals full as the main library?

  You can do it from your normal user account. Alternate between libraries and to the iCloud photo library on the external drive.

  It will be easier than permission risk issues when you access a library of two different user accounts.

  If you want to reduce the size of the internal Player library quickly, remove the library on internally, after that you are sure that the copy on the external hard drive is working properly.  Create a new library on the internal disk and make your iCloud Photo Library., optimized. The library will download in an optimized way and be much smaller to begin with.

• On photos on iphone with iCloud library storage

  How can I limit the space used by photos in ios9 without deleting icloud?

  With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

  Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

  In most cases, optimize your photos should be enough to raise the space related issues on your device. However, if you have an exceptionally large library you may need to disable iCloud photo library on your mobile device and use instead the photo stream. You can then use a computer to manage the photo stream photos and have them automatically imported into you iCloud photo library.

• The photos in photo looks blurry, with large pixels. Recorded images were of high resolution, why what is happening?

  I used the migration assistant to transfer all the data from my old macbook pro to my new iMac, now the images in the Photos seem to be blurred, with large pixels. Recorded images were of high resolution, why what is happening? Is it possible to fix it. In the old macbook pro, the image looks ok.

  Migration assistant has a really bad experience with iPhoto and Photos

  If you still your old MB of available space, connect it to your new Mac (network, mode target firewire or use an external to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format hard drive and drag the iPhoto library folder images on the new Mac and heck the iPhoto library to icon in the Dock to migrate Photos)

  I hope this will work better

• What is the purpose of several iTunes libraries? Is it because iTunes is slow with a large library?

  I found the link on the creation of multiple itunes libraries

  Open a different iTunes library file or create a new - Apple Support

  research on a way to make iTunes more quickly.

  Normally a different itunes library would be related to a different user account.

  This feature answer Apple iTunes is very slow with a large library?  What is the solution?

  No and probably not. Some may choose several libraries as a way to manage multiple devices. Personally, I have my main library, another that I use only with iTunes game, and several that I could use to test behavior iTunes when I answer questions and I want to correct the details. Most activities in iTunes causes the .itl file update and the .xml so it is created. It is likely to be some kind of non-linear relationship between the size of the library and the time required to process updates. Each smart playlist should be updated when the data changes. Most of the smart playlists and playlist folders you more than the activity takes. Avoid creating the .xml if you don't need it, the control is in iTunes > Preferences > advanced.

• iCloud photo library with a library of Photos more

  I have two libraries of Photos on my iMac. Now, I want to use ICloud photo library. Which will work? So how do?

  The iCloud library works with the library that you designated as the library of the system.

  

  If you want to have the photos both of these libraries in the iCloud photo library you will need to merge the two libraries with the paid version of PowerPhotos. Then designate the fully merged library the library of the system.

  Don't forget that you can buy enough extra iCloud storage to take account of the size of your library.  And it will take a lot of time to download all photos from the online library.  A user reported nearly two weeks only for 7000 photos.

  

• Photoshop Elements is able to work with 100,000 photos? Or Lightroom is better?

  Photoshop Elements is able to work with 100,000 photos? Or Lightroom is better?

  Lightroom is better. The most powerful over the catalogue, research capacity becomes. Import of batches can be quickly analyzed by using the pick and reject flags and photos can be marked with color labels, but also stars; or copy names that can be assigned to virtual copies. Best of all, presets can be applied in bulk lots of selected images and a good range of plug-ins are available, including publishing services like Flickr, Smugmug and others.

• What is the best way to convert 37 000 photos in iPhoto in Photos

  I have a file with 37 000 photos iPhoto. I wish I only know how to use an Apple S/W photos, that's why I want to convert my new photos have been involved in the Photos!

  What are the best options to convert 37 000 photos in Photos?

  Is there a limitation on the number of photos Photos can hold/grip? It will run in degraded mode?

  Should I have / is it possible to have more than one library? If so, does that mean that I lose a search function, i.e. I should search in each library, if I want to find something...?

  All comments and ideas would be instructive.

  There is an option - migrate the iPhoto photo library - it is good to change first the iPhoto library - see these advice Notes on the migration of an iPhoto for iPhoto to Photos for Mac library

  No limitation on PHotos photos - your disk space is limiting - large libraries do not slow down it (I have a 20 000 library and library one 80 000 photos (not ready to pay for the space to her iCloud))

  You can have several libraries of Photos, but you cannot search through them (PowerPhotos can help with this if you want multiple libraries)

• Library share of photos stored on external hard drive

  I currently have a library that is much too large for my MacBook Pro. I use Aperture with a referenced library, stored on an external hard drive.

  I would like to be able to share our library on my MB Pro, my wife and our iPhones and iPad MacBook. When the pictures came out, I was informed that I couldn't use iCloud with a library referenced and sharing across different devices iOS and mac. (In fact, I would need only to share a part of the library on our computers and devices. Some must be on my MBP.

  Is this possible with pictures?

  Or anyone has any other suggestions how I can share the photos I have with my wife book Mac and iPhone?

  Thank you very much.

  None

  There is no way to share a library with Photos Aperture - there is no way to share a portion of a photo library (or iPhoto or Aperture) - library iCloud requires pictures and that's all or nothing - you can have several libraries with the photos you want to share in one and all the others in another

  as for ways to share Photos and opening - a third-party site like Flickr or export to DropBox and import from there

• import into Lightroom 6 catalog of hard drive Mac 96 000 photos

  Hello.  I am new to Lightroom and I wanted to download selectively from the hard drive of my Macbook, but before I could specify where I wanted it to look, Lightroom has begun the process tedious loading all of the user and after a long interval, came with 110 000 photos.  Some have been duplicated, and some were components of programs like images, settings, graphics etc.   So, I moved CMD a great bunch I KNOW I won't be in the LR library... (of which most are small graphic images like I said above) and I've unchecked, but how do I make them disappear?

  I want to switch to the other, but it is very slow, and I feel that I should eliminate the 'chunks' of photos in order to get to those I don't want to import.  This isn't how I myself remember the video I watched on importation to be.  I probably did something wrong!   :

  Does anyone have advice for a beginner to mark on the way to not clutter their catalog Lightroom 6?    It was my intention to small groups in the office files that I had arranged for hours before I chose import.  I did year and records system, my folder of Design elements and the favorite folder so that I can mark and color code them on their way in.

  This isn't how I had photographed this moment in my being of Lightroom-hobby!   Laughing out loud!    Thanks to all who read this!

  Hello Tracy,.

  You can select lots of photos in your catalog and press on delete key > choose Remove to delete the catalog.

  If you want to start over and import by a file you wanted, then you can either select all and remove all the or create a new catalog empty and then start the import process.

  If you are ready to create a new catalog, go to menu file > create catalog > name > choose the location where you want to save it.

  This would open up an empty catalog, and then you can start your import process.

  Refer to this tutorial: How to transfer photos to a folder from the hard drive to Photoshop Lightroom

  Later, you can get rid of the older catalog.

  Kind regards

• Updated to El Capitan, lost over 40 000 photos!

  I upgraded my macbook Pro of Cougar to El Capitan and lost more 40 000 photos iPhoto becomes unavailable. Very angry and praying I can get an answer on how to get them back. Any help is greatly appreciated that frustration is rising.

  iPhoto has been replaced by a new application called Photos. Its icon should be visible in the Dock. If this isn't the case, it is in the Applications folder.

  Pictures of launch, if requested select your main iPhoto library, then let the pics to migrate all your images to a photo library. It could take days to complete.

  In the meantime, you should visit the Apple website and the websites of the Mac-oriented information and learn about Photos and iCloud photo library.
