Merge Photo Libraries On High Sierra

So, after I upgraded to macOS High Sierra 10.13, the Photos app updated and iMovie no longer attached it in the Library. What I had to do is to set “Use as system photo library” in the Photos preferences, but it was grayed out. In order to reset this, I had to launch Photos with the option key pushed and a menu will come up, create a new. I'd honestly only recommend upgrading to High Sierra if you have a real reason to (i.e. You develop mac apps and need to fix bugs, or are pining to play with RX 580 eGPU support). This is the first time in years of developing mac stuff that I've tried a developer beta, and only because I have a better backup/partition strategy than years past. Solved: When I drag graphics from my CC library into In-design they display pixelated and also print pixelated. Except sometimes it doesn't want to work. Sometimes the OS likes to pretend that my Photo Library doesn't exist. Free mickey mouse cartoons online. Times like today, when I upgraded to macOS Sierra, walked away for five minutes. Preview merge function works in os high sierra! Open pdf documents with preview (start with first page of document), click ‘view’ tab, and then click ‘thumbnails’. You’ll actually be dragging your files into the thumbnail sidebar from the ‘open’ file window.

If we want to move a photo to another library, we usually want a lossless move, which means that we want to be able to move the edited version and the original image as a pair, and also preserve the metadata.

If we have many photos to move, the only way to do that is using iCloud Photo Library - Notes on Merging Photos Libraries

But if we have to move just one or two photos, iCloud Photo Library would be overkill, if we are not using it anyway.

If you only want to move a single photo, you can transfer it as a master-version pair with the External Editors extension.

  • Export the original photo with 'File > Export > Export unmodified original' and use the option 'Export IPTC as XMP' to save the metadata in a sidecar file.
  • Export the edited version as a JPEG in high quality with 'File > Export > Export 1 photo'

Now you have a pair of the original Master and an edited version on your Disk and can import them to Photos plus the saved IPTC metadata in the sidecar file.

  1. If the original is a RAW file, you can simply import the pair of orginal and edited version together to the other library and Photos will treat it as a RAW&JPEG pair and stack the two photos as a RAW&JPEG pair and you are done. You can easily switch between the edited version and the RAW file in Edit Mode with the command 'Image > Use RAW as Original' or 'Image > Use JPEG as Original'.
  2. If the original is not a RAW file, import only the original to the other library, then open the original in Edit Mode and use the External Editors extension (it is available at the AppStore for a small fee). In External Editors click 'Choose File' below 'Replace with image from disk'. In the File Chooser dialog select the JPEG of the edited version and click 'Done', then 'Save Changes'. Now the JPEG will be used as the edited version, but you can still revert to the original. It will be as if you had used an external editor on the photo.


As to the IPTC sidecar: The sidecar files are currently having an annoying bug. The date is transferred correctly, but not the time. Photos on High Sierra is reading the time always as 00:00:00.

Therefore I would not use the sidecar file with a RAW&JPEG pair. If you import the photos as a pair (method 1), do not export the sidecar file. The JPEG version will keep all metadata and you can see them in Photos, if you are switching to the JPEG as the original.
