Q: Can't repair Photos library after Time Machine restore
I recently had to wipe my 27" iMac and reinstall it from a Time Machine backup. Photos was working fine before doing that, but now when I try and launch it I'km told it needs to repair the library. It gets to 95% before saying it can't repair the library, would I like to try another.
Anyone know a fix for this? All my photos are in the cloud, but I'm not sure if they're the originals or not. If I was to start a new library with the photos would they still match with the ones in iCloud or try and upload them all, therefore making duplicates?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

If you read about iCloud you will see that your originals are there
trash the Photos library and create a new one and let Photos populate it form the cloud - this may take some time so be patient
