Cant Find Default Iphoto Library AFter a bad mistake

Hello All,


Yesterday I was looking for an old photo and by error i ended up opening an alltogether old iphoto library. Now for the life of my I can't get back to the library I had loaded just prior with all my current photos.


I have 3 hard drives, a local and 2 externals, I can not figure out how to get back to where i was with iphoto prior to that dreadful mistake!


Any help would be extremely appreciated at always,


Many Thanks,


DA

You may want to connect all old drives to your Mac.

Then quit iPhoto and open it again while holding down the options key ⌥. Keep holding down the key until you are seeing the library chooser dialog.

You should now be seeing a panel listing all your iPhoto Libraries. Try them all in turn.
