Mac OS X
Q: Would I need to backup or just re-enable if doing a OSX reinstall?
I use Photos for Mac on my iMac. I have iCloud photo library enabled on my iPhone and iMac. I also have download originals on my iMac.
So I'm thinking of doing a total refresh on my iMac, and installing MacOS Sierra. I will obviously backup beforehand with TM, but if I do a fresh install of MacOS, do I then just re-enable/sign in to Photos for Mac, and then it will download all my photos as originals again anyway?
I won't have to backup and copy (like iPhoto of the past), the file to my iMac?
thanks
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
