Q: I want to use a library on an external hard drive as the default library for Photos
I want to specify a library on an external hard drive as the default for Photos, in other words when I import from an sd card, they will automatically go to that external library.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

Move the Library to the external disk.
Open the Photos app while holding the Alt(option) key, point Photos to the new location of the Library and say yes when asked if this is the default Library.
Then when Photos opens the new photos go to the default library (when the external is connected of course).
