I have two different libraries created in Apple Photos. I want to move some photos from one library to the other library - how do I do this? thanks
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Won't I loose the "live photo's movement" if I do it like that?
The hard way is the only way:
1. Starting with the "from" library (call it "library A") open.
2. Locate and export the photos in question from library A to a temporary folder in place X (the desktop, a scratch disk, your documents folder, wherever).
3. Quit the Photos application.
4. Holding down the "option" key, start Photos again.
5. Select the "to" library ("library B" for consistency) and let it open.
6. Import the photos from the folder in place X created in step 2.
7. Use the Finder to manually delete the temporary folder created in step 2 (assuming you don't need them for anything else).
Assuming you really meant "move" as in "the photos shouldn't be in library A", add:
8. Repeat steps 3-5 selecting library A this time.
9. Locate the photos you moved (using whatever method you used the first time) and delete them from library A.
Of course, if you still have the photos in question stored somewhere outside of any Photos library, you could just re-import them to B and delete them from A.
Power Photos can browser multiple libraries and move photos between libraries
or you can export form one and import to the other one https://www.fatcatsoftware.com/
