[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1816853, member: 204485"] You can have multiple Pictures libraries. Some consider this a good idea. For example if you are a photographer you may have one portable library for work. My wife has two. One for our family and the other for business. If you press and hold the option key while launching Photos you can see a list of available libraries (this will include a library on an external drive if it's connected) you can also create and name a new library. The only catch is you can only open one library at a time. Obviously it would be handy if you could open more than one at once. So if you want to move pics from one to another it's a bit slow. You would need to drag photos to say, the desktop, close the Photos app, reopen it again holding option, pick the other library, open and import the pics from the desktop. Leggy huh? So make sure you have the right library open before importing new pics. Sent from my iPhone [/QUOTE]
