Q: Looking for the best way to consolidate iPhoto Libraries

I have a number of iPhoto libraries.  I'd like to consolidate them into one library then eliminate the duplicates.  Suggestions on how best to proceed would be much appreciated.

    If you have the latest versoins of iPhoto and Aperture you can do it with Aperture. 

     

    Otherwise you'll need to paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager.  With it one can merge multiple libraries into a new library or one of the existing libraries. I'd create a new library to merge into.  After the merge into the new library is dome and checked for completeness and to make sure it operates as expected the other, individual libraries can be deleted.

     

    Setup iPLM's preferences similar to this:
