• How to create the new library of Photos to iCloud without it merging with the former?

  I started my iCPL in January 2015. It is now 104 Gb/8000 photos. In a year I need to upgrade my plan of storage iCloud.

  So I think I would make the existing one a regular photo library, and start a new photo library iCloud.

  If I start a new library now and make the iCPL, merge it with the existing iCPL. I want to replace the existing in iCloud.

  I could do (I think): -.

  1. make the existing a non-iCPL and rename it.

  2. create a new lib Photos and make the library system iCloud.

  3. the new library (empty) will download and merge with the former in iCloud, so it contains now 8000 photos of the original lib.

  4. delete all the 8000 photos in the new.

  5. start put new photos in the photo library now empty iCloud.

  Is there a better way? I do it too difficult?

  I can see what I've described above taking a long time to settle on all devices, even if I can avoid 30 day waiting by removing the deleted record recently.

  Thank you

  You use "Optimize Mac Storage" on your Mac? Then, you will need to make sure that all the photos to download to your Mac before you copy your current library corresponding to your backup disk and start deleting iCloud.  Is there enough free storage on your Mac to do this?

  I would also like to than my thin iCloud library. My iCloud library has only my favorite photos of many years, I want on all my devices as well as the most recent photos that I'm still trying. Because the iCloud library must be the library system, only in iCloud library photos are available in the media for other applications browser, so I keep all the photos here that I can use in other applications.

  What I do to save bandwidth and download time is to have two libraries:

  1. A large library where I keep all the photos I want to keep - it's my photo archives. This library is on an external drive that is supported by Time Machine and is currently still an Aperture library.
  2. A smaller library iCloud in my pictures folder.

  I import new photos first to the iCloud library, remove all the bad moves that do not need archiving, then I export the originals at the library of the archives.

  And then I start editing the photos in the library to iCloud and learn by removing and keeping only the best photos.

• Lightroom 5.7: import, doesn't remember the previously imported photos

  I had this problem for a while, long enough so that I don't remember in which version it was the behavior surfaced.

  In short, during the import (for example, an SD card) and on the map are the pictures which had been previously imported, LR selects not only photos that are new (in other words, was not imported).

  I changed my behavior to remove the SD card after I have confirmed that the photos have been saved (for off-site storage) so I don't have to deal with him on the road, but nevertheless, I prefer the appropriate behavior.

  Any ideas?   I've upgraded to el capitan with the latest updates.

  Thank you

  no difference between "all photos" and "new pictures".

  Yes, it tells me that all the images shown in the grid are selected for import. That is your problem.

  "All pictures/New Photos" are only a choice as thumbnails of all images on the site of the 'Source' ' show/hide '.

  And you always have the option checked for - "don't import suspected duplicates?

  And you always let Lightroom enough time to check your complete catalog to determine whether "duplicates" exist already by a previous import.

  Is it possible that changing the names of files and metadata on previously imported files prevents LR to determine that there is a "double".  (A LR guru could answer this question!)

  I've never known your problem because I always download camera card and the camera allows re - format the card before using it next. So my cards still have only 'new' images.

• Plug-in for importing the library of Photos of OSX to Lightroom?

  Hi all, I upgraded a library iPhotos to the new Photos app when it first came out. Since I am aware that Lightroom had a 'Import iPhoto' plugin, I always thought a 'Import of Photos' plugin would be available. But from my research on the Internet, it seems that Adobe has not developed a. My problem is that I have spent a lot of time to organize my photos into albums in the new library of Photos app, and I can't afford to redo all this back in Lightroom. These aren't simple stereotypes that can be simply rearranged by date - they are images of a multi-year research project and have 36 000 photographs relating to very specific categories of information. Given that many photos appear on several albums, it is not as easy as the export of each album as a group to, and then import them into Lightroom to keep separated/grouped.

  I would be grateful for any help on how to import my library of Photos in Lightroom (CC or other) while keeping the organization from the album - the knowledge to see if Adobe (or a third-party developer?) has plans to make a plug-in similar to the one they had for iPhotos. Essentially, the current limitation means that I cannot become a permanent user of Lightroom and will to always be attached to my Photos app.

  PS - open my photo library in iPhoto does not work either - it shows that the albums I've done until I upgraded to Photos, not worth year-end additional organization I've done since. I was surprised by that, because I was hoping it would be a miracle solution (i.e. opening of new photo library in iPhoto, then using "Import from iPhoto" Lightroom plugin).

  You should be able to export versions of Photos with IPTC metadata. Export to the desktop or even better, in a folder on a regular basis using the Finder. Import duplicates in Lightroom and you should be able to quickly use keywords to make collections if you add temporary words prior to export.

• How can I import my iPhotos library into the new application Photos?

  My iPhoto library is on an external hard drive. When I try to import into the new application of Photos on my laptop, it is said that Photos doesn't have "permissions". I can't find a way to solve this problem, please help!

• If I exported my photos when I import them into another library of Photos, will they still be live photos?

  I plan to export my entire library of Photos on a hard drive, that I will then use import my library to another library of Photos on another computer (with the latest updates). When I export my photos (choosing File > export > export Photos X...), they will still be "live pictures" that is when I import them will be powered?

  For sure if you simply move a copy of the entire library to the new system, you will have all - export and import loses a lot of information and can lose quality if you're wrong - interconnect systems and drag the library photos of the current system to the new system images folder - or use an external hard drive to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format to move in all

• import the library of photos of Yosemite to El Capitan

  I'm doing a fresh installation of the El Capitan after I made backup of operating system existing Yosemite on external drive, so I need to import the library of Photos of Yosemite El Capitan.

  How can I do? Suggestions please?

  New facility means fade and clean install? If you have a backup or Yosemite is located on the external hard drive, then go in the user folder/photos Yosemite and restore the iPhoto for the El Capitan record/photos user library. Open iPhoto (or Photos), then set the location of the user folder/photo library.

• Comments on missing photos after photo import from iphoto library

  I use iphoto extensively for my company and I recently updated my OS to El Capitan and discovered that it didn't work anymore.  There was a note which directed me to download the latest version of the app store and when I did it it says there is no download available.

  So I tried to go to the pictures.  I started the pictures and it prompted me to import my iphoto library, which is about 70 gigabytes.  Import ran for a long time and all images now appear in the Photos, but there is a problem.

  Before the upgrade, when I downloaded photos in iPhoto, they went to a group and have been dated from and prepared accordingly. But I would add notes and/or descriptions so that when I entered a search for specific photos, they came to the top and I didn't need dates. Apparently, when photos have been imported into the new program, they are listed by date and descriptions are gone. Do you know if they're hiding, or if we can find them? Otherwise I have no idea where the first photos are and I have to visually through the 22 000 photos.

  If not, is there a way to return to iphoto for El Capitan?

  There was a note which directed me to download the latest version of the app store and when I did it it says there is no download available.

  Apple sells iPhoto, is more then the tab update of the AppStore works is no longer.  You can update only by reinstalling, see user tip Barney:   cannot be updated iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store)

  Apparently, when photos have been imported into the new program, they are listed by date and descriptions are gone.

  Are the descriptions of the events?  If you open the sidebar with the albums, (enter the ⌥⌘S - command-option-S key combination), you will see a folder iPhoto events.  It will be an album for each of your events.

• How to migrate my library of Photos (new application 2015) apple to Lightroom CC?

  How to migrate my library of Photos (new application 2015) apple to Lightroom CC?

  Photos for OSX is quite a new application, so there is no plug-in available or the details of a future version of LR that can support.

  If keep you your iPhoto library, you can use the plug-in integrated into LR CC, LR5 or LR6.

  If you export versions to the office or place duplicates in standard folders in the Finder, they understand any changes already made. You can then import into LR for the folder (s) using 'Add '.

• How to import images continuously in my photo library?

  I discovered another disappointing aspect of photos. When I import images in the photos, I assumed that they would remain in the library after I deleted the temporary folder on my system. Unlike iPhoto, you can see on the pictures, but you can't do anything with them, because it looks for the original file. How to import images so that they remain in my photo library?

  Change your preferences of Photos.

  You probably disabled the option "pictures > Preferences > General: import: copy items in the photo library.

  This option must be enabled, or Photos will reference just the pictures stored outside the library in their original location.

  Make sure that this option is enabled. See Help for this Page: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht12e7a8015

  

  For photos that you imported earlier, which are always referenced outside the library, select all the pictures, then use the command "file > consolidate" to copy in the library. After that, Photos will manage them.

  Using iCloud photo library?

  If you use iCloud photo library, you must first download the originals to your Mac.

  See: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/phtf5e48489c

  Remember to select 'Download this Mac originals' in the iCloud Photos preferences pane, then all your original photos can be downloaded from iCloud to your Mac. Be sure to leave your original download.

  Then, copy the photo library your folder of images on your external drive.  The disk should be in Mac OS extended (journaled) format and should not be your Time Machine volume.

  Double click on the copied library to open in Photos and test, if it works.

  I'm not sure what you want to do with iCloud photos you have.  If you want to start over with a new photo library iCloud so, delete all the photos in your library system, after that you copied the library on the external hard drive and you tested it, if it works. Then empty the album "recently deleted.  This will remove them from iCloud and all devices sync with iCloud photo library.

  If you want to keep the photos in iCloud, log iCloud on your Mac, before you delete the photos in your library system.

  Now remove the pictures library and to create a new new, launching photos while holding down the button options. Click the new button in the library Chooser Panel.

  Enable this library in your system photo library.

• New MacBook Pro - photos cannot 'fix' library of Time Machine

  Hello.  I recently got a new Macbook Pro.  I have "" everything from my old macbook pro using my TimeMachine upward.  Everything seems to go well except...  When I opened the Photos I get a message that the library should be "repaired".   When the repair process is 95%, I get another message indicating that the library is not repairable.     I always have backups Time Machine and tried to restore the photo library, but it does the same thing.  I don't have access to the old computer.

  Any suggestions are appreciated.  I have pictures in iCloud, but download here sounds a lot of time.

  Thank you!

  I have pictures in iCloud, but download here sounds a lot of time.

  So, you might start with an empty photo library and let the pictures to download from iCloud. If you restore the library of Photos of Time Machine, Photos will be anyway download the complete library restored to iCloud and sync and compare. It will take the same time to synchronize again restored library.  The difference is, that the restored library will have all your projects - books, calendars, cards and all thumbnails of faces. If you download the library from iCloud, projects will be missing and thumbnails of faces. You will only have keywords searchable faces.

  I always have backups Time Machine and tried to restore the photo library, but it does the same thing.

  Where did you have restored the library? For an external drive or the pictures folder?
