Multiple Libraries in iPhoto

I have a critical need to have multiple libraries in iPhoto primarily to reduce the total amount of photos in one file. These have been created and put in a desktop folder for easy access. I am sure a professional photographer would need multiple libraries, primarily one for each photo session then when have the subjects in for a viewing would need FAST access to the individual libraries and using preferences is by no means quick. Now, there are two primary problems that have come up though the first would be eliminated after the photos have been categorized into their assorted libraries.
First: How to move photos to the other files.
Second: How to open the file wanted without having to go through the rigamarole of changing the preferences every time. In other words, why can't I double click the library I want and have it automatically switch to that file as primary?

You can.
Or Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
There's been no need to edit the preferences since iPhoto 6.
I am sure a professional photographer would need multiple libraries,
A professional wouldn't be using an app like iPhoto. A Pro would be using an app like Aperture, with - perhaps - one Project per shoot. In fact, you can do that with iPhoto and one Event per shoot.

  • Merge multiple Aperture and iPhoto libraries into Photos?

    I have around 80GB of material in multiple Aperture libraries, and around 12GB of old material in iPhoto. Is it even sensible to think about holding all this data in Photos, and if so, how is it possible to import multiple libraries? The option to convert an existing library only seems available at first start-up, and is then limited to only one library.

    Yes it is practical - but you have to merge the libraries before converting libraries to Photos - Aperture can do that

  • Multiple libraries iTunes and iPhoto

    Probably this is an item that Apple has to resove, but just put this remark in public as some people did before by addressing the problem.
    I love to use iTunes and iPhoto, but the most irritating failure of the program is that it has no possibillities for multi database contents (multiple libraries). Result: My harddisk is filled and filled with music and photo's and is getting so much overfilled that I had to stop using these programs on my PowerBook although that is the place I love to use iTunes from as I carry my music with me. I can write things on external CD's of DVD's, but as I do so, and I deleted the topics from my harddisk, it is no longer part of the library. I am not able to put a library on a cd or other harddisk and use it on my laptop, not taking all the diskspace I need for other work. As I want to use music, let's say from a CD that I bought, the music is imported and again my hard disk is filled again for some Mb's again. It would be convenient, also for organizing al the Gigabites of data if you could make different libraries for different ocasions. Libraries that I can put on my laptop if I want to use it. Make connection out of iTunes and use it. Like putting a huge CD in my laptop. Wouldn't it be crazy if I had to create a startup FireWire Harddisk just to use these programs? Another partition would not work as that is still on the same harddisk.
    Bill Gates, make this issue work of behalf of a lot of people that want to keep control over their own hard disk content. Regular databases like FilemakerPro also don't tell you to put all your data in one library organizing them from there.

    I haven't tried this yet, but I had a similar question and eventually found the suggestion to try
    http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/ituneslibrarymanager.php
    to create multiple libraries. This doesn't solve your iPhoto problem, although my guess is that if this works for iTunes, someone could also write a script for iPhoto, too.

  • IPhoto vs Photo multiple libraries

    The Yosemite upgrade eliminated iPhoto and replaced it with Photos app, how do I use the multiple libraries that I previously set up in iPhoto?  When I opened the Photos app after the upgrade it gave the option to choose a library, but not multiple ones.  Now what?  How do I switch to and use multiple libraries in Photos?

    After I figured that out about the multiple libraries I have a new headache. I wonder if this is your issue as well? I can't sync one library for ex. work library to my ipad and my creative library to my iphone. The only option I am provided is to sync the main system.library Photo.app library which is my personal library.
    I created 3 libraries initially using iphoto Library Manager. I wrote and asked them if they would be creating software or changing theirs to address this issue.  I am disgusted with this role out. Nowhere was I told to merge all my libraries in order to have access while syncing. I have over 100gb so I created a work, creative, and personal library.
    I back up on an external. I am not going back to the cloud as I don't need ALL my photos on ALL my devices, just my desktop. The cloud did not offer me the options I needed.  I spent a whole workday trying to gain back some usability for my work library. I am completely updated in all areas.
    I don't need "moments" I need dates and I need descending order, plus key commands and not three steps to do what was one in iPhoto. Ready to chuck it all and look elsewhere (Lightroom- perhaps) as this is costing me money and time from work. I keep filling out feature requests to no avail or help via searches on the internet.
    I hope someone has figured out how to sync the additional libraries Photo.app allows for, if not, then why give the user the option?

  • Multiple Libraries & duplicates

    I am sure that my problem is common so hopefully this post will help other people solve similar problems. It may have been answered in other posts although nothing has popped out as a clear and concise way to solve how to deal with multiple libraries and duplicate pictures.
    I have over the years created, edited and merged various iPhoto libraries. I now have such a mess of pictures and libraries I don't know what to do to organize them all. The smallest library is about 10GB, the largest about 45GB. I purchased iPhoto Library Manager and Duplicate Annihilator. I have attempted to merge some of the libraries but that didn't work that well. It created yet another library and more duplicates. I then (foolishly) attempted to drag and drop a library file and that created extra pics like thumbnails of the all the faces.
    So is there an easier way that sifting thru about 30,000 images?
    Do I deal with the duplicates in each separate library first, then merge and do it again. Or attempt a total merge, then scan for duplicates?
    Another approach I thought about is to work directly with the originals in the library contents.
    I am lucky that I haven't spent too much time with albums, books etc. There is some metadata (comments, maps and faces), but nothing to serious.

    Try using a free tool, ExifRenamer (http://www.qdev.de/?location=mac/exifrenamer)
    Do not use this tool on files inside of iPhoto Library. You can use the tool only with originals, in simple file format. So you probably need to export the files from iPhoto first before using the tool.
    It renames photo/video file names to date/time they were taken. You'd drop a folder containing the files onto ExifRenamer icon, and the files will be renamed. Pretty simple. You can specify the format of file name and other settings to your preference first. Once the files are renamed, you'd drop them into folders based on year/quarter/month.
    Basically you'd reorganize the files in this folder structure
    2009_01
    2009_02
    2010_03
    Or you could work with
    2009-q1 (for Jan - March)
    2009-q2 (for Apr - June)
    As you are dropping the renamed files into their directories, you may be asked to overwrite files, which you should do.
    Once you've renamed the files, you can reimport them into iPhoto Library. I recommend one iPhoto Library for 1 year. Maybe you could keep more years in 1 iPhoto Library. My personal preference is 1 iPhoto Library for 1 year.
    Lastly, please make a good backup and test before proceeding. I recommend this.
    -Let Time Machine run with iPhoto closed.
    -Export all photos from iPhoto into a separate folder. This is for backup and not to be touched.
    -Export all photos from iPhoto or duplicate the folder you created in previous step. Work with this folder when using ExifRenamer. Start working with small sets of files initially until you are comfortable.

  • Multiple libraries, Pbook/Pmac, advice for management & updating please.

    Hi Everyone,
    I travel frequently, and am looking for suggestions to keep all my iPhoto libraries up to date. I currently have a g5, Powerbook, and Mini.
    I just upgraded to iPhoto 6 and I have several thousand photos on my Dual g5. I just came back with 1000 more from my diving trip. The problem is, they are on my Powerbook, and taking up alot of space on the relatively small hard drive. I managed to work through the rough upgrade from 5 to 6, and now I need some more help...
    1) What is your advice for managing multiple libraries of photos.
    2) What is the best way to transfer the iphoto pics (and movies) to my desktop, which of course has the larger storage capacity, after travelling...
    Thanks,

    Jason:
    There are several different approaches to what you want to do. Let me just throw out a couple that I'm familiar with.
    To get the new photos from your PB to your G5 and maintain any keywords, and other organization effort you put into them, you'll need the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. It will allow you to merge libraries or copy between libraries and maintain the metadata, etc. That's the only way currently available to move photos from one library to another and keep the roll, keywords, comments, etc. with those photos. You can connect the two Macs with one in the Target Mode, probably your PB, and then run iPLM to move the photos to the G5 library.
    Now there is a way to have a library on your PB that reflects the one on your G5 but is only a fraction of the size. That's to have an alias based library on your PB that uses the Originals folder as its source of source files. (My 25,600 files, 27G, are represented by an iPhoto Library folder of only 1.75G). When the PB is not connected with the G5, say with a LAN, it will have limited capabilities which are in part: you'll only be able to view the thumbnail files, be able to add comments, create, delete or move albums around, add keywords (but with some hassle-but it can be done). You can't do anything that requires moving thumbnails around, work with books, slideshows or calendars. Once the two computers are networked together again the library will act as normal.
    Now while on the road you can have a "normal" library to import new full sized files, keyword them, add comments, etc. and then transfer to the G5 library. Once in the G5 library they will be represented in a roll(s) and corresponding folder in the Originals folder. You then fire up the "alias" library, and import those new folders in the G5 Originals folder.
    It may be a lot of work but it may be one way of doing it.
    I've not done any of the "sharing" with iPhoto so don't know if that's another possible candidate for transferring.
    P.S. FWIW I've created this workflow for converting from a conventional library to an alias based one.

  • Multiple Libraries using iMovie/iDVD

    When you create multiple libraries in iTunes,
    How does it work when selecting music
    when working in iMovie, iDVD?
    Does the Music interface show the two libraries
    in these programs?

    Does the Music interface show the two libraries
    in these programs?
    Unfortunately not. They only show the last used or active library.
    Note that iTunes 7 is a recent release and iMovie, iDVD and iPhoto probably don't know (yet) that iTunes can have more libraries.

  • Multiple Libraries and Keywords

    I use multiple libraries. The Keywords from all my libraries appear in the keyword list. Is there any way of splitting the keyword list so I only see the keywords for the library I'm using?

    Go into the iPhoto/Web preference pane and select Manually for checking on newly published photos. Then close the MMe Galley section in the left hand pane and forget about them. That feature is really a pain.

  • Creating multiple libraries and using an external drive for data

    I'm a recent switcher and new to iphoto. On the windows platform, I used adobe album. I have a around 10k of images that I put on an external drive which is attached to my new imac. I deleted the iphoto folder and redirected it to my images on my external. All is working great. I'm looking for some advise on work flow of file/iphoto management. i.e. I'm assuming the more images I accumulate, the slower I photo is going to run? I hear you can create multiple iphoto libraries. Will that only load the photos that are associated with the library and I'm assuming optimize iphoto's performance versus always loading every photo you have taken every time you work in iphoto? If adding libraries is the way to go, can someone direct me to instruction on how to do this?
    This may be beyond this threads scope but I plan to put all my data (iphoto, imovies, itunes) onto an external drive in order to keep the imac main drive as clean a possible. Is my thinking correct in doing so. Any negative repercussion in doing so?

    Joe:
    I'm assuming the more images I accumulate, the slower I photo is going to run?
    You'll have to get quite a lot of photos into iPhoto before you start to see a real slowdown in performance. Users have reported libraries of 40K files and they perform just fine. However, do not keep all of rolls open as that will really do a job on the performance. Just open the rolls you need and close them all before quitting.
    Yes, you can use multiple libraries and only load what's in each. I use iPhoto Library Manager to manage and move quickly between 10 libraries. With the paid version of iPLM you can move albums and/or rolls between libraries as needed and keep the keywords, ratings, and comments intact.
    Using an external HD in order to maintain sufficient free space (10G minimum is what I recommend) on the boot drive to help optimize performance is a very good idea.
    As far as any negative aspects, it would be a good idea to have a second external HD as a backup to the working external HD. You can't be too careful with those image files (and other important files) that can't be replaced.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Combining libraries with IPhoto 9.5.1

    OK, I've been reading other older posts, so hoping someone can help me with newer versions....I have libraries from an old computer, thumbdrive, desktop, etc, some IPhoto versions are quite old...I want to combine all onto an external drive and make a copy that I keep somewhere else. Since I have an old MacBook Pro (2010) version 10.9.5 (I don't want to upgrade to Yosemite), I want to have my computer look for the library on this external drive and not have all those photos on my laptop. That's what I did with my old desktop...anyway...the issue is how to combine all these libraries which actually have the same name....

    First copy all of the libraries you want to merge onto your external hard drive.  It should be formatted OS X Extended (journaled).  Upgrade all of the libraries to the same version of iPhoto that your current working library is. Rename each library before copying it to the EHD so they don't overwrite each other.
    Once that's done you can use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the multiple libraries into a new library.

  • Feature request: Support for Multiple Libraries (like in iMovie)

    From the threads, I can tell this topic was raised by many for many years. I would like to propose support for multiple iPhoto libraries -- or more specifically, the ability to distribute media across different storage devices.
    There is a huge gap between my spacially limited MBP 250 GB SSD and my external 4 TB HDD. I am aware that I can juggle two separate libraries in iPhoto but it's just not practical and the moving of media between the libraries is not a simple drag and drop effort but involves exporting and importing with me having to clean up on one side or the other.
    iMovie has had support for several libraries for a long time presumably because the sheer size of media in the video realm gave the iMovie team little choice.
    I can't be the only one having this itch, right?

    Again, you need to clarify your terms
    Aperture can move master photos files around. With Aperture you can write additional metadata to the original file.
    You don't need multiple libraries to thematically arrange photos, though. A simple keywordign system will do that.
    So in Aperture I don't have to restart into different libraries?
    You can have all your photos in a sinble library with the master files stored off-disk easily. You can relocate them from disk to disk too. However, if you;re doing presentations that is probably not necessary if you generate good quality previews. I'd ask about these things on the Aperture forum for more.

  • I have multiple libraries......

    I just ordered iLife '08 and wonder how it will handle importing my multiple libraries. Anybody know? Judy

    Judy:
    A very good way to handle multiple libraries is with iPhoto Library Manager. It can merge libraries and copy rolls or albums between libraries while keeping comments and keywords intact like this. I'd wait, however, until the developer has a chance to test it with iPhoto 8. I'll be doing that as soon as I get my copy.
    Do you Twango?

  • Lossless to ACC Automator Conversion/Multiple Libraries/External Hard drive

    I've been playing around with setting up a home media server, and have run into a few issues and have a few questions about this.
    Question 1: Best way to rip into lossless format?
    -apple lossless vs. other: has anyone had problems streaming lossless files to iTunes/Airport Extreme?
    Question 2: Best way to manage multiple libraries?
    -Library manager vs. option key during startup?
    -see below
    Question 3:Any Automator scripts to convert Lossless to AAC, then save to desktop?
    Why this is important to me:
    -goal is to have large external HD as a media server with a mac mini/iTV as front end.
    -would like to have iMac hardwired to external HD via Firewire for data manipulation/editing, then upload into 'Master Source' file for photos, music, movies
    -would like mac mini/iTV (eventually) to act as always on front end client for external HD; would be hardwired/firewired to external HD to prevent lag time; thus could use front row for browsing photos, music, movies off TV monitor
    NOTE: no desire for cable/sattelite viewing - what I want to watch I would buy on DVD (backup reasons)
    -would like to have music stored in lossless format on external HD for home stereo use, etc, and have a duplicate library in AAC on desktop for syncing with ipod nano
    -look for my posts on Front Row issues/wish list for TS file viewing, problems with multiple iPhoto libraries
    BTW any external HD that have 2 firewire ports? Most that I see either have two USB 2.0 ports or 1 USB and 1 firewire port

  • Multiple Libraries - Best practice

    I have been using iphoto for the last 5 years, At the end of the year I move the library to an external drive and use iphoto buddy to point to it. Now I have 6-7 libraries and I would rather have everything, together.
    What has people found out is the best way to combine libraries so that all files end up in 1 directory on the firewire drive and then the best way to move this years photos from the hardrive to the ext drive, later? Or is having multiple libraries the best?
    Seems like i am always moving files to and from libraries and i loss any structure and backing it up is a pain. am i missing something here? Thanks in advance
    jf

    Jeff:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The only way at present to merger multiple libraries into one library and retain keywords, rolls, etc, is to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. That will get you one library. If that library gets very large then you might have a storage problem on your boot drive where you want to keep adequate free space for optimal performance. In that case multiple libraries might be best for you.
    FWIW here's my photo strategy. I keep my photos in folder based on the shoot (each upload from the camera after an event, usually family get togethers) in folders dated for the event and a brief description. I then import that folder into iPhoto to get a roll with the same name. Since I take the step to upload before importing to iPhoto I also batch rename the files with the international date format: YYYY-MM-DD-01.jpg and so forth.
    With iPhoto's new capability of using only aliases for the original/source files (I kept my original folders as a backup on a second drive) I used those original source folders for my combined library by importing those folders into a new V6 library using the alias method. So, for 17,400+ photos that take up 27G on my second drive, my iPhoto library on my boot drive only takes up 8G. This is very valuable for PB owners who can't afford that much library space on the boot drive. The one downside to the alias method is that if you delete a photo from the library the source/original file does not get deleted. Hopefully that will be in the next update.
    If the external is dismounted the library is still useable in that you can view thumbnails, create, delete and move albums, add comments and keywords (but with some effort). You can't do anything that requires moving the thumbnails or edit. I've created a workflow to convert from a conventional iPhoto library structure to an alias based one.
    The downside to converting as I mentioned is that you will lose keywords, albums, etc. due to the conversion. So it's not for everyone.
    Bottom line: for combining/merging libraries iPhoto Library Manager is the only option at the present time. Hope this has bee of some help to you.
