Is there a way to get photos to recognise my favourite photos from iPhoto?
I've selected my old iPhoto library as the system library for the new Photos software and it's fine but I'd like it to remember which ones I favourited in iPhoto? any ideas much appreciated.
MacBook Air (11-INCH, MID 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.5)
How did you mark your favorites? If you flagged them or assigned a 5-star rating, the photos will have added keywords in the Photos library. You can search for these keywords with a smart album: File > New Smart Album
Brilliant
many thanks: the 'keyword is flagged' smart album search found all my previously favourited photos.
much appreciated,
Simon.
You're welcome, Simon! 🙂
