How to create a new iPhoto library?

Last Updated :

You can create multiple photo libraries to organize your photos, albums, slideshows, projects, and then switch between the libraries. The new iPhoto library you create will be empty. You'll need to export images from your original iPhoto library, and then import them into the libraries you just created

For example, you could keep separate libraries for your personal photos and your work photos. Following is the process how you create a new iPhoto library
  1. Quit iPhoto.
  2. Hold down the Option key as you open iPhoto.
  3. In the window that appears, click Create New.
  4. Type a name and choose a location to store the new photo library.
  5. Click Save.
The iPhoto Source list shows your new, empty photo library. Any photos you import are added to this library.

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!
