Hi,
When I try and import photos from a different photo library, it is greyed out in the "review for import" box. Why is this happening?
I need to combine an old photo library with my current one. Or else I will lose those photos.
Thanks,

Yes - when you open the two libraries with Monterey/Photos 7 they will be upgraded for use with Photos 7. Note it is not possible to downgrade again afterwards, so you are on a one way trip. Make sure you are happy to upgrade first.
I also stongly reccomend you take a full system backup before the upgrade.

Hi
You cannot import one library into another one. In fact up to Big Sur/Photos 6 it is not possible to move photos between libraries at all, unless you use the 3rd party app PowerPhotos by fat cat software (or export them from one library in re-import into the other)
If you have - or are able to upgrade - to Monterey, then Photos 7 can move images between libraries.
Thanks. Currently i have Catalina installed on 2018 mac mini. That’s my current library.
my old photo library was on an older osx just before catalina.
if I upgrade to monterey, will it still work if the old photo library was on an older osx?
Which system version do you have installed?
