However, I believe I inadvertantly opened "Photos" before I knew this so my question is what will happen after I combine all my current libraries into one? How do I "Import" that new combined "megalibrary" into "Photos" since it won't happen automatically because I had already opened Photos?Īlso: Using iPhoto Library Manager I understand that the several iPhoto libraries can be combined into an existing library or into a new library created just for the combined old libraries. I understand that when first opening "Photos" it will automatically convert the last opened iPhoto Library into a Photos library.
I have read the many posts about how to prepare for the conversion and am following that advice - largely with respect to combining my several libraries into one prior to the conversion using iPhoto Library Manager and "Normalizing" or "Systematizing" the Event names so when they are converted into Albums in "Photos" I will be able to easily refer back to which iPhoto Library and Event the pictures came from.
I am currently running Sierra and have not upgraded to Mojave primarily because I have not yet converted from iPhoto to Photos. I have an iMac Retina 4K 21.5-inch, 2017 with 32 GB RAM and 500 GB Storage (also running iPhoto 9.6.1).
