See this thread for merging two photo libraries How to restore photolibrary from Icloud, A second method is export photos from system photo library to a desired location say download folder in finder , then connect an external hard drive to the Mac then transfer the photos from download folders into the external hard drive , and all your photo data is saved , see this article Move your Photos library to save space on your Mac - Apple Support If you desire how many selected photos see this article Select and deselect photos in Photos on Mac - Apple Support are to be deleted in system photo library folder , you should select them and delete to recently deleted folder see this article Delete photos or recover deleted ones in Photos on Mac - Apple Support ( its your choice to delete them permanently immediately or after 30 days the photos will be removed from the iCloud server ) . In this way the complete photo data is still on external hard drive , but the space is reduced in photo library .
