How do I merge events?

I found all my events in the new iphoto update but I don't know how to merge events. Before you just simply dragged it on top of another event but that isn't working in the new update.


Thank you

The original iPhoto events are represented by albums in Photos. To merge albums you can do it one of two ways:


1 - If you want to merge Album A into Album B do the following:


  • open the sidebar with the Option+Command+S key combination.
  • with the two albums visible in the sidebar click on A.
  • select all of the photos in A.
  • drag them onto the Album B icon in the sidebar to add them to B.
  • verify all of the photos are in B.
  • delete A from the sidebar.


2 - Select all of the photos in Album A and use the File ➙ New Album menu option. In the next window select iPhoto Events

and then the album name you want to add the A photos to. Lastly delete album A from the sidebar.
