I'm regularly seeing Photos libraries of 10,000, 20,000, even up to 55,000 images (current record)! There's nothing wrong with that, though it can cause an organizational nightmare, and also bog down the computer due to the large number of image thumbnails it must load. You can create and use multiple smaller Photos libraries, organized by year or by topic of your choice. To do so, launch Photos while holding down the Option key, you'll be given a dialogue to either choose one of your existing libraries, or create a new one. Give it a name, import photos, and use it as normal. To switch back and forth from one library to another, you can either Option boot into the Photos program, or simply double-click on the Photos Library name in your Finder.

Another benefit to this, is you can create and designate a particular library as your iCloud System Photo library, the one that will sync and store your pictures in the Cloud, taking advantage of the convenience of the iCloud syncing feature without storing each and every photo you possess on the Cloud. Simply designate that library as your System Photo Library in your Photots Preferences, and if you want to use iCloud to sync those photos between devices turn the feature on in your iCloud settings.
Whoa .....fabulous ...wonderful ...fantastic ...beautiful......OMG ...thank you so much. I will look into the photos and see what I can do ....touble is I don't actually know much about Marilyns life! I will make something up .....!! wow Wonderful to what you have created...
It was great to meet you and thanks for your help, I love the dual screen and upgrades. I seem to have forgotten how to access the iphoto shots from the original iphoto and can only find the few new ones, can you re direct me.
However, even if lots of people do enable iCloud for their photo-storing needs, many of them simply dump their photo libraries there without any sorting or management, which leads to inflated storage costs and diminishes the value of this wonderful service. So here are some tips on how to select all iCloud photos, deselect them, delete all photos from iCloud, and more.
If you designate a new library as the System Photo Library and then turn on iCloud Photos, the photos and videos in the new library will merge with those already in your iCloud Photos. Additionally, all photos and videos from iCloud will redownload to the device.
If you open a different library in the Photos app, and you haven't designated it as the System Photo Library, other applications will use photos from the original System Photo Library. Hold down the Option key when you open Photos to see which library is set as the System Photo Library.
Another way to resolve the problem is to upgrade your current plan. Apple offers multiple plans for more account storage. Subscribe to a larger storage plan directly from your iPhone and iPad, as well.
Any Apple device with the eligible operating system can access, upload, sync, and edit the iCloud Photo Library with a related iCloud account. They must all be signed in with an Apple ID. iCloud photos not syncing to a Mac can happen. There are several simple fixes in the event this occurs.
PowerPhotos allows you to break up your Photos.app images among multiple Photos libraries, rather than having to store all of them in one giant library. You can easily switch between libraries, or just browse the photos in your libraries directly from PowerPhotos, without having to open each library in Photos.
PowerPhotos also supports searching across all your libraries at once to help track down a particular photo. If you use iCloud Photo Library to sync photos with your other devices, splitting up your library can help save on iCloud storage costs. Use a single library to hold a smaller collection that you sync with iCloud, while keeping the bulk of your photos in separate libraries so they don't take up space on iCloud. PowerPhotos can analyze your libraries for duplicate photos, showing them to you side-by-side and letting you get rid of extra copies of photos that you no longer need.
Looking at photos on an iPhone or iPad screen is great, but nothing beats the art of printing photos to paper. There's just something special about having a physical print of a photograph. Photo paper is expensive, however, so it's important to conserve as much of it as possible when printing from the Photos app.
2.Look through your photo library and select the photos you'd like to print. You can select multiple photos by clicking and dragging over them or by holding the Command key and clicking on the photos you'd like to print.
4. Look towards the right-hand side of the Print window. There you will see a list of different ways to size your images on the page. Select 5x7, 4x6, Custom, or Contact Sheet to print multiple photos on a piece of standard paper.
If you select Custom, you can configure your photos to print at any size and aspect ratio you'd like. You can configure these options at the bottom right-hand corner of the Print screen. Note that the height and width of photos are locked in proportion with the aspect ratio, so your photos will never be stretched out or lopsided on paper.
Fortunately, the answer is no. Instead of duplicating your existing iPhoto or Aperture libraries, Photos makes use of a feature called hard links, which are similar to the aliases that the Finder uses. When you open an iPhoto or Aperture library in Photos, each photo or video remains in its original library, and Photos simply remembers where they are and points to them.
This explains why, if you look at the amount of disk space your drive had available before you converted your iPhoto or Aperture library to Photos, the difference is nowhere near the size the Finder lists for your new Photos library. The only time your Photos library actually consumes the amount of disk space the Finder reports is when you delete your old iPhoto or Aperture library. Doing so takes a long time because your Mac has to shuffle content from those libraries into your Photos library.
If you have Aperture 3.3 or higher, you can use it to combine multiple iPhoto libraries into a single Aperture library that you can then upgrade to Photos. Before you begin, be sure to open each iPhoto library in the latest version of iPhoto (9.3 or higher) to ensure the iPhoto library is arranged in a way that Aperture understands.
If you used iPhoto or Aperture to edit some pictures or videos, you should export those files before deleting their libraries. Afterward, you can import the exported goodies into Photos in myriad ways, as Chapter 2 explains.
While the dynamic duo of Photos and iCloud Photo Library is more than adequate for most people, professional photographers need a more robust solution. In that case, consider using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC in conjunction with Lightroom Mobile instead.
See your pictures and videos on any computer. You can log into your iCloud account from the web browser on any Internet-connected computer. Just go to iCloud.com and log in, and you can view and organize your entire photo and video library. How cool is that?
One way to add some variety to your desktop background is to select multiple photos that automatically rotate through. You can do this with Apple desktop backgrounds, or even your own photos! This wikiHow article will teach you how to put multiple pictures on your desktop background on Mac.
Enhancements to the underlying architecture enable faster, more reliable performance, especially for homes with many smart accessories. Communicate with and control connected accessories more efficiently from multiple devices at the same time using the Home app.16
Translate text around you using the camera in the Translate app. Pause the view to get translations overlaid on text in a photo and zoom in to get a closer look, or translate text in photos from your Photos library.27
Once activated, any new photos or videos that you take will be automatically uploaded and stored in your iCloud Photo Library. These photos and videos will then be synced to your other devices that have iCloud Photos enabled.
If you have a Mac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 or later, you can switch on iCloud Photo Library so that all of your photos and videos from your iPhone and other iOS devices will automatically appear in the Photos app on your Mac.
Just remember that any changes you make in the Photos app on your Mac (including organizing your photos into albums) will be synced and updated on your other iCloud devices such as your iPhone and iPad.
The Photos app on your Mac also allows you to edit your photos in the same way as the Photos app on your iPhone. Editing tools include filters, lighting and color adjustments, cropping, and even a retouch tool.
Simply double click on a photo, then click Edit at the top right. Remember, all of your edits will be automatically synced via iCloud so that they appear on your other iOS devices. Edits are non-destructive so you can revert back to the original at any time.
To import photos into the Photos app on your Mac, go to File > Import. Select the images or folders you want, click Review For Import, then click Import All New Photos.
To copy full resolution images from the iCloud Photo Library into a folder on your computer, select the images in the Photos app on your Mac, then go to File > Export. You can choose to export the photo as it is (including any edits), or the unmodified original. In the next dialog box select your preferred options, then click Export. Select the folder you want the images to go into, then click Export.
I have the same issue and having a hard time believing no one else is....I keep my photos on a remote server and have been able to import to iPhoto and then Photos running on the Mac but saving to a network file mounted library from iPhone this way for years. Same behavior as above, Photos attempts to import a few dozen to hundreds of photos in a few seconds but nothing shows up. Copying the photos library to a removable HD and attachig directly to Mac appears to be a work around but won't work for me long term. Any insights/help Apple? 2ff7e9595c
