Opening photo library from an old iMac
How do I transfer a photo library from a old iMac to a new one? I get the error that Photos can't open a library that has already been migrated.

Hi, I am attempting the same migration. The photos seem to have migrated, but I cannot view. An error message is presented when I attempt to view:
Error Downloading Photo
An error occurred while loading a higher quality version of this photo. Please try again later.
I tried again later and received the same message. I can access the existing pictures in Photos. I cannot view the migrated pictures. However, the videos migrated and can be viewed just fine. Is there something else I can do to access the pictures here?
What is the filename of the library?
The library you are moving is one that has already been updated for a later version of MacOS on the old machine.
You need to find the library is was updated into.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I looked for the other library file and am currently migrating that library to my new iMac. It is taking all day - but that is good I am sure.
How did you migrate the library?
How are you changing between "exisiting pictures" and "migrated pictures"
Are you using iCloud photos?
