[QUOTE="woodmancorner, post: 1614511, member: 335945"] Thanks for the reply. Following your pointers I think I have found, at least a part solution. For clarity I have renamed the libraries so I know which is which. The library containing 80Gb of photos is iPhoto Library 1 The empty one is iPhoto Library 2. Macintosh HD/iPhoto Library 1>Open>Opens IPhoto Library 1 Macintosh HD/Users/My User Name/Pictures/iPhoto Library 2>Open>Opens iPhoto Library 2 Finder/Time Machine Backup/My iMac/Latest/Macintosh HD/iPhoto Library>Open>Opens Terminal Text 'Last login: Fri Oct 24 15:42:17 on ttys001 jacks-imac:iPhoto Library jacktowl$' Finder/Time Machine Backup/My iMac/Latest/Macintosh HD/iPhoto Library>Show Package Contents> shows a load of items, one of which is 'Masters', size 80 Gb, containing photos in folders by year. These are presumably the contents of iPhoto Library 1. Entering Time Machine/Photo Library tells me that iPhoto 1 is there with a size of 100+Gb. so I now know, I think, that all my photos are backed up which is great. Can I now simply drag iPhoto 2 from Macintosh HD/Users/My User Name/Pictures/iPhoto Library 2 to the trash to revert to iPhoto Library 1 only? [/QUOTE]
