Can you Import Multiple Libraries into Photos app for Mac?

Last Updated :

No, you con not import or combine multiple libraries within Photos app. You can set, open and work with multiple libraries into Photos app. When you first time launch Photos app, it will ask you to choose which library would like to import into Photos app. Once you choose your library, you can not import another library into Photos. That means, if you choose iPhoto Library while launching Photos app, then you can not import an Aperture library into the Photos library. But, you can create a separate Photos library and import your second library into that. To do so, hold down "Option" key when launching the program.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
