Moving and combining iPhoto libraries to external drive
I have an iMac desktop computer, set up with multiple users (me, my wife and each of our 3 kids).
Three of us have cameras and have uploaded photos using iPhoto over the years.
I now want to move the photos all to an external hard drive to free up space on the desktop.
I moved my iPhoto library to the external drive without problem. But when I logged in as my wife and attempted to move her iPhoto library, I got a message that said there already was a iPhoto library on the external hard drive.
Is there a way to merge her Library with mine? If so, how? Or bad idea?
Ideally, it seems we would be best served by having a central library with a single copy of each photo, that would be accessible by each user as they logged in and used iPhoto. Is that possible?
Thank you for any insight into solving this.
