How can I move selected photos from one iPhoto Library to another?

When I set up a new iPhoto Library and copied photos into it, only the thumbnails transferred.  I want to combine the two libraries now and have the master photos in the combined library.  How do I do that in iPhoto 11 and how do I then remove duplicates?

The only way to merge libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

    Generally it is not advised to have multiple Photo libraries - but if you do you need IPLM to manage them

  • How can I move a photo from one project to another

    How can I move a photo from one project to another without creating a duplicate so I have the same photo in two projects.
    I seems to me in the past when I moved the photo from project 1 to project 2, I would get a number showing the # of photos being moved and you could drag and drop in the 2nd folder and the photos would disappear from project 1 and show up in project 2. is there a setting I am missing.  Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    Any suggestion?

    Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    The projects are the basic containers.  Each image and all its versions are in exactly one project.
    You can use an image in many albums, without duplicating it, also in many products like books, screensaver, slideshows.  But the projects are the basic structure of the library and you cannot have the same image in two different project, without duplicating it by storing the same original image files twice. Use albums to organize your library thematically.
    Sorry, I misread your question.   Dragging an image file between projects should move the image and all its versions to the other project.  Aperture should only duplicate the image, if you hold down the alt/options key while dragging and move the image otherwise.
    Which Aperture version are you using? And which MacOS X version?  Is your profile signature "MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS 9.2.x, Aperture 3.5.1" still valid?
    In Aperture 3.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 dragging between projects is still working as expected:

    You can't. The apps must be purchased separately.

  • Moving photos from one iPhoto library to another

    Is there a way to move photos from one iPhoto library to another? I tried to use export, and that puts the photos in the other iPhoto library (I can see the photo if I open Hard drive>user>pictures>iPhoto Library but when I open iPhoto it is not in that Library's library.
    If I have not made myself clear, please ask and I'll try again.

    Is there really no other way than via third party software??
    Yes there is, detailed above: export from one, import to another.
    I love using iPhoto but this is a real drawback.
    Wow, really?
    I have bought an external disk so i can free the space on my laptop by moving photos and now I have to buy some software in order to do that??
    You don't have to buy it. What's more the free version of iPhoto Library Manager will move up to 20 pics at a time. And the paid version is only $20.
    BTW: you can run an entire library from the external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How do I add photos from one iphoto library to another library

    I own 2 macs and want to take the photos from one library and add them to a different library on a different Mac.  How do I do it?  I've copied the iphoto library from computer 1 to computer 2 but haven't yet done anything with the file.

    Best solution is to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to move photos between libraries
    You can move one version of the image with selected metadata by exporting from one library and importing it to the other library - Exporting From iPhoto

  • How can I move select photos from my mac to my macbook air?

    I would like to know the best, quickest, easiest way to move photos from my Mac to my macbook air?  I have tried Migration Assistant--was going to take 4 hours and I don't want to share all files, just photos.  I also went into System Pref. on each computer, clicked "Sharing" and attempted to allow access to both computers by setting up a Public folder but only some of the photos transferred.  I also get a message on my mb air telling me I don't have access to the pictures on the other Mac, even though I have granted access to "Everyone" in my network.   Also, I've updated both computers and rebooted them, to no avail. 
    We have a wireless network, if that makes a difference?
    Thanks!--have a client meeting in 25 minutes and need some photos--HELP!!

    1st solution
    One great features is AirDrop if you connect both Mac on the same WiFi.
    Go to finder, on the top of the left list you get : All my files, AirDrop, ...
    Click on AirDrop on both computer, you will see on both computer each other. Then just drag and drop files from one computer to the other.
    2nd solution
    Use an USB drive ... ok physical support are so boring ...
    3rd solution
    Share folders between your computer but with right rights on it ... can take a long time to explain ... ask if you wan't this solution
    4th solution : iPhoto
    if you store your pictures in iPhoto you can share your library between several iPhoto.
    Launch iPhoto on both Mac and on the source's one activate sharing library
    5th solution : iCloud
    If you have iCloud configured on both Mac and you store your photo in iPhoto both will get the last 1000th photos
    6th solution : dropbox
    Store your photo in dropbox and they will synchronize on both Mac
    7 ....

  • How can I move a photo from one Album to another?

    You can't move pictures between albums on the iPad. You must do this on the computer that you sync the albums from.

  • How can I move my pix from one photoshop version to another?

    I have Photoshop Album Starter Ed 3 downloaded in Jan 2007 which currently has all my pix (only about 50).  Last Aug, a tech downloaded PhotoDeluxe 2 while doing some work on my computer.  I have been unable to transfer the pix from the Starter Ed to the PhotoDeluxe.  I just purchased Elements 7 and want to move the pix to that application and delete the 2 older Photoshops.  I keep running into file path problems.  I have tried to copy all the pix to a CD and then reload in the PhotoDeluxe catalog but it never works.  Before I load the Elements 7 I want to be sure of being able to transfer all my pix. This may be a simple problem to solve but I admit I am still uneducated in some aspects of computer use.  Please help if you can.

    No. You can delete it from their iTunes library and make a new one, but it'll remain tied to that iTunes Store account.

  • Transfer photos from one iPhoto library to another

    I created a second iPhoto library and I want to copy photos from the original iPhoto library to the new iPhoto library.  Not sure how to do it.  Seems like I should be able to use "export" from the file menu, but when I get to where I select where the group of photos should go, the other iPhoto library is nowhere to be found.

    Depends exactly on what you want to move:
    Just a Photo? Then Export it to the Finder (the desktop or wherever) then switch to the other Library and import it.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    If you want the Photo, all the added metadata, edit history, versions  and so on use iPhoto Library Manager

  • How can I access deleted photos from my iPhoto Library Cache?

    My Macbook Pro broke about a year ago and I recently took the hard drive out to access the files. I have a hard drive enclosure to USB to my Acer (Windows) Laptop. I was looking through all the folders when I came across this: D:\Users\Lizee\Library\Caches\Desktop\iPhoto Albums
    In this folder is a list of different albums I have had over the years and in the albums there are photo files, but I cannot view them! This gives me hope that maybe there is a way to salvage and get back some of the photos I once deleted! Please let me know if you know ANY way I can get any of these photos back... I will do anything!

    I don't believe there is any way to do what you want. These are not your photos.

  • Moving events from one iPhoto library to another

    I want to move some events from one iPhoto library to another.  Does anyone know that this is possible and if so, how do I do it?

    iPhoto cannot do it . The full version of iPhoto Library Manager can transfer events between libraries, or Aperture can do this.
    You can download iPhoto Library Manager here:  iPhoto Library Manager
    If you want to save the money for additional tools, doit manually: 
    Export the photos from each event you want to transfer to a folder.
    Import the folders with images to your other iPhoto library.
    You have to make up your mind, if you want to move the original files to your other library or the edited versions.  Only exporting the original files instead of the edited files will preserve the full quality. Actually, you want to export both. Using iPhoto library Manager will ensure, that both will be transferred and paired as one photo.
