[QUOTE="tobindia, post: 1861563, member: 261044"] "From scratch" means that I started from nothing. I held down the Option ket and started the Photos app. In the window that popped up, I clicked on "Create new" and imported over 40K files (.jpeg, etc.). I then ran PhotoSweeper to eliminate duplicates and ended up with my 34K photos. I compared 2 photos from my old and new databases. An old photo (probably taken with a 3 or 4 megapixel camera) was 499KB on the old database and 476KB on the new. The newer photo (taken with an iPhone 11) was 4.9MB on both databases. I'm not sure what you mean by "copying the files into Photos." I used Photos > File > Import... to import my 40K photos from multiple folders of 2-5K photos at a time.The Photos/Preferences that you referenced is checked. [/QUOTE]
