Then I remembered hearing Dave Hamilton mention PowerPhotos on his Mac Geek Gab podcast, raving that it offered the tools that should have been built into the Photos app… PowerPhotos to the Rescue! But I was afraid I might the ability to revert modified files to their original state, not to mention all of my carefully curated albums, star ratings, keywords, metadata, and such. I suppose if I were a more patient person, I could have exported the contents of the two archival libraries and imported them into the current one. You have to close the current library to open a different one, so there was no easy way to merge their contents. The bad news was, as I mentioned, Photos restricts you to a single library at a time. That way I’d only need to look in one place for any of my 62,000 photos and 3,000 videos. With larger and cheaper hard drives now plentiful (for backups), I decided I wanted to merge all of my photos from the three libraries back into a single Photos library.
