I have a new MacBook Pro whcih I want to keep clean and not import everything from my old MBP. But I do want my Photos libarary. MIgration assistant wants to transfer my whole user folder, create a new user account etc. Is there a simple way to import ONLY the photos libarary to the user account on the new Mac? I have googled and searched the forums but haven't seen a solution
MacBook Pro
After you've setup the new Mac connect the old Mac to it via Target Disk Mode so you can just drag the library from the Pictures folder on your old Mac to the Pictures folder on your new one.
Don't try connecting them via WiFi and transfer the library that way as it's much slower and more prone to error.

Thanks for the tip. Do I need the whole file called "Photos library"? Or can I just drag the images from the "Masters" folder within the Photos library?
If you wan to manage the photos with Photos and keep all metadata, edits, albums, projects, face IDs, location info, etc. then .
Want to migrate Photos only
