It wouldnt be possible to open 2 iphoto libraries at the same time. Once 1 library is open thats it. The reason is because there is only one iphoto application on the computer. 1 application = 1 Library

What are you trying to accomplish? Have you tried toggling between faces and photos with this slider?

Will this do what you need?

Hi Old Toad;

I may be an older toad..

But; What I want to do is match people that I have in Photos with their face, maybe, in faces.

I do use the slider you showed me and it helps, but I think a side-by-side would help a lot.

Thanks for the reply,

Tony (born 1938) 🙂

Well, whippersnapper (1937) I just realized that the slider onlhy shows the full photos that already have a face identified. For photos without any faces it's off to the Events or Photos mode. 😟
