I took a MB Air on vacation. Uploaded pictures from several cameras and phones from family & friends. Edited them in iphoto and created an event. Now I'm home and would like to view and edit the photos on my MBP Retina, and save them there. How do I copy this event to the MBP/Retina? I don't want to merge libraries, just copy the contents of this particular event. Thanks in advance!

The only way to move the Event from one Library to another including all the metadata and version history is to use iPhoto Library Manager.
If you only want to move the photos but don't mond about Faces and version history you can export the images to a folder and the copy that to the other machine and then import them.

Thanks! Very helpful. Since the photos are a mix of JPEGs and RAW, would you recommend choosing "original" in the export dialogue box? I may buy iPhoto Library Manager, but I don't have experience with 3rd party programs for the Mac (except Microsoft...). Is it a well-supported program?
There is no exporting involved. IPLM will move the entire thing including all versions and data with no information loss. Exporting gives you much less

If you go the Exporting route then yes, export as Originals.
Library Manager is recommended on here many times every single day.
I would like to copy an "Event" from MBA to MBP Retina. How?
