![]() Photos 2.0 on Sierra can read the sidecar files on import - so exporting with XMP files will transfer the metadata to the new library.īut you will have to recreate the albums and smart albums as well. So there is no help for it but to export both, the originals and the edited versions, and to deal with the duplicates. Your metadata will be gone, unless you export the edited versions as JPEGS. On Yosemite or El Capitan - even if you export the originals with XMP sidecar files to preserve the IPTC metadata, the metadata from the sidecar file will not be applied to the originals when reimporting. You would have to export the edited versions and the originals separately and they would no longer be paired. ( Combine libraries in Photos - Apple Support) This is the most tedious way and only feasible for very small libraries. Merge the libraries by exporting the photos (edited versions and originals) from one library and reimporting them into the other library.Photos 1 and 2 cannot sync the named faces, but Photos 3 and 4 can sync them. To sync the faces names with iCloud Photo Library, I apply keywords with the names of the persons to all photos in a people album. ![]() The download will be like to a different Mac, see: Use Photos and iCloud Photos on multiple Mac computers That is why I recommend to start with the smaller library. The merge will not include the Faces albums and projects from the first library you uploaded. The merged library will sync back to your larger Photos Library. This library will be merged into the library in iCloud too, creating a merged library in iCloud. Now enable the larger library as your iCloud Photo Library. Photos will merge the the library into the library that is already in iCloud.
