[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1802136, member: 396914"] Photos has gotten into some sort of hangup for me. The thread is here: [url]https://www.mac-forums.com/images-graphic-design-and-digital-photography/347692-scan-people.html[/url] But what I am thinking of doing is to export everything from the Photos library on my Mac in the original format to an external drive, then open a new database by holding Option as I start Photos and importing all those original images into that new database to see if that fixes the hangup. But, and this is the critical question area, I sync through iCloud to keep my iPhone and iPad updated. What happens if I change the database this way and import all those images? Will they all have to go up to iCloud again? Will iCloud create a new database and keep the old one? Will they duplicate or replace what's on my iPhone and iPad? I know that only the System Photo Library is synced with iCloud, but I'm not creating a file with a different name, and this new database would BE the System Library, so it would sync to iCloud. But can anyone verify that? Similarly, there is a "Repair library" process described in the Help menu. If I use that, what happens in iCloud, iPad, iPhone? Does the repaired library replace the System Library and get synced? [/QUOTE]
