Why is my migrated size smaller photo library?

Hello

I've migrated just my iPhoto for pictures library. He created a new photo library, but it is quite a bit smaller than the migrated iPhotos library. This concerned me. According to Finder, the old library of iPhotos is 105 GB and the new photo library is 90 GB, for a difference of 15 GB. I read in a few places online that said that two libraries should be about the same size. However, I opened the two libraries in their respective applications and did a 'get info' check, and they say they have the same number of photos, videos, size of storage and date range (3870 photos, 658 videos, 84 gb, from date date X). What is the cause of this difference between the two libraries 15 GB Finder?

Thank you!

He could have a big iPod photo in your iPhoto library cache, if synchronize you with iTunes library.  See this link:

  • Trouble with the migration of my photo library

    I migrated my old MacBook Air to my new MacBook Air by time capsule, most things moved smoothly, but my pictures library does not open on the new computer. It says "Photos has attempted to repair the library 'Photos', but is unable to open it." Then closes.

    Is your photo library in iCloud online? If so you can just leave Photos download photos on the new computer. First, open your pictures folder and delete the photo library. Don't forget to empty the trash.

  • migrate a unified photo library

    I have multiple iPhoto libraries, and considering their merger via the opening in a library unified before her migration to a library of Photos Photos system so that all of my images are available as well as its subsets can be displayed to iCloud.  What are the risks of this approach?  How to proceed?

    What are the risks of this approach?

    None.  This is a good approach.  Don't forget to run first aid on the unified library to get permissions and files in the database «perfect "condition before migrating to pictures.» This will help ensure a trouble-free migration.

  • The file size of Photos library don't to shrink when I remove the images from the library

    Subject line pretty much sums up it.  Let's say I have create a library of Photos and import of 100 photos. The file "Library.photoslibrary Photos" grows to a certain size, as expected. But if I remove some of these pictures does not take the size of the file photoslibrary. If I import images more library file grows again, but it never reduces when I delete the images from the library. This happens with both a library of referenced files and images copied to the library.

    What happens here?

    You must either wait 30 days or go to the recently deleted album and remove not for the final to do deletion

    and note that Photos doesn't manage referenced good libraries, it was reported here that they can use more space than a managed library and they are not recommended

  • Why is 'Export file size small' big?

    Hi, I work in CS3.  100 brochures, I have two brochures that do not export to a small PDF file. The settings for the export are all the same.  What else should I look for?  The sizes are usually 1 MG.  These 2 specific brochures are 5-6 MG.  I can try to fix this problem?

  • Why keep my canvas size smaller than what I get in the boxes?

    I did a book cover for a printing company and they have come back to me twice now - basically, I think that the measures are not good and they may not format correctly for printing.

    The Web is supposed to be 316mm wide and 216mm in height, with a 300px dpi. However, when I look at how big the Web is (Image > canvas size) he always says 315.98 215.98 x, no matter how many times I try to resize it. I'm not entirely sure how printing doing things, but I think this 0.2 mm could make a difference. The same happens when I create a new file. I want to do a 3 mm x 210 mm canvas, because I need a margin of 3mm on each edge (where the extra 6mm in width and height of the A4 size 310 x 210). However, this new canvas is also then 2.96 x 209.97 mm. So when I want to use it as a guide on the edges, I'm a total of 0.8 mm - so I think this could really make a difference.

    I tried to search to see if anyone had the same problem but couldn't find anything. It would be nice if it's just a problem I supervise and allows to correct quickly. Printing needs coverage again as soon as possible, so a quick response would be great.

    I use:

    • 8.1 Windows 64-bit (up to date)
    • Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 x 64

    At 300 dpi, would become 316 mm ~ 3732,28 pixels. Since you need an integer pixel value, the result is the rounded 3732 pixel dimension. Return calculated, which would be ~ 315,98 mm.

  • To a new Mac to iCloud photo library

    I bought a new Mac and you want to migrate my iCloud photo library to the new machine. Currently, I have all my photos stored on my old mac and plan to move the library of photos of the new machine.

    I have 650 GB of photos, so I don't want you must synchronize all the photos again to iCloud. Is there a safe way to migrate my photos for the new iMac?

    The best way is to connect the systems or use a DHM in mac OS extended (journaled) format and drag the photo library intact as a single entity of the original system in the new system images folder and then launch the Photos on the new system

    The new Mac will say it's download to ICPL but it I actually just make sure everything is in sync - it takes time, but less than a download

  • 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.

    If so you probably watch optimized versions that will be much smaller a not very strong.

  • Deletion of images does not reduce the size of the photo library

    I deleted about one third of my images from my library of Photos (Yes, I went to the "Recently deleted" and clicked on "Delete All") but his 45 GB in size was not afraid significantly at all.

    Is there a hidden method or even the third parties who may release and utilities compact the photo library?

    Is your photo library a library iCloud with optimization of the storage activated?

    In this case, you don't have much control over the storage you use.

    Just to be sure - if you remove photos from albums, did you remove it using 'delete album' or 'remove... photos "?

    The key to delete only delete album - pressing command + delete will delete the library.

    And if your photo library is a migrated iPhoto library or an Aperture, the storage library won't be released, if you delete the photos in both libraries, because the photos in both libraries are connected by hard links.

  • How to use the library of small Photos on the MacBook Air

    I'm running out of space on my MacBook Air, and I prefer to store all my original photo in iCloud. How to keep the photo library on my Mac to the size of the strict minimum. Thank you.

    Are you already using iCloud photo library or you want to turn your photo into a photo library of iCloud library?

    To save storage on your Mac, select iCloud in the pictures library > Preferences > iCloud. also turn on "Optimize Mac Storage" in this Panel.

    Photos will replace originals in your library of optimized versions. But this process is dynamic. If you are short on storage, it will replace original more optimized versions. So, it will take some time, until your photo library becomes smaller. You cannot influence this process.

    A way to shrink the photo library immediately, is radical enough: wait until the first download of your photos is complete and all the pictures are on iCloud.  Make a current backup of your photo library by copying to an external drive.

    Then delete the photo library on your internal drive. Launch photos while holding down the key options and create a new empty library. This library in your system photo library and activate iCloud photo library with optimization of the storage.

    Now, all your photos will download as optimized versions and the library will be much smaller from the start.  However, it has some drawbacks.  Thumbnails of faces will be lost, also all of your projects. It will be like using your iCloud library another computer: use Photos and photo library on several Macs - Apple Support iCloud

    Given the size of my libraries, I have every living on external drives, so I don't know if it's part of the problem, but it's strange because it worked last week.  Ideas?

    How are your external drives connected?  Are mounted locally or network drives?

    And what is the file system on the external hard drive?

    You open the library from another user or another Mac account?

    You run applications cleaning to save space?

    Thank you!

    The photos full size will always go to the cloud. They also remain on (or download) your Mac depends on if 'Download this Mac originals' or 'Optimize Mac storage' is ticked in Photos > Preferences > iCloud. If it is enabled, it also depends on how much storage is available on your Mac.
