[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1858391, member: 131855"] I didn't think of using Preview. Sometimes I forget all that it does. My first thought was to create a second Library file in Photos. That Library file doesn't have to be stored on the Mac AFAIK. When the new library file is created you get to designate where it is saved. Creating the second library is as simple as launching Photos while holding down the Option key. See[URL='https://www.macissues.com/2015/09/03/how-to-manage-multiple-photos-libraries-on-your-mac/'] here[/URL]. Unless I'm wrong the process of launching with the Option key down. could be handled with a simple Automator setup. Clicking that simple app launches Photos with the Option key down which brings up the dialog to choose a library. IIRC that part can also be automated so one Automator-based app launches your regular library and the other launches the "special" library. If you're interested I can probably cook up an example with all the steps in a few minutes. [/QUOTE]
