Photos Library is the folder where the Photos App stores the images you import. This import is directly from a camera, device, or your iCloud photo library. Mac OS creates the library the first time you open Photos on your machine. Keeping large media-type files on something other than your system drive is considered good practice.
Make sure you have quit Photos. Then click and drag the Photos Library icon to your external drive. Put it either in the sidebar or on the desktop. Wait for the data transfer to complete. This will copy, not move, your photos library.If you encounter an error popup, select your external drive in the finder window, then choose File > Get Info (Command or Ctrl + I). Under Sharing & Permissions, check the box that says then try again.Do you only want to back up your Photos library to an external storage device? Stop here! Repeat steps 1 to 3 whenever you want to back up images. Rename the copy of the library each time. This is an excellent way to know which backup is which.
Now you know how to copy Photos Library to external hard drive. You can start managing your shoots like a pro! (You can get off Auto mode and take stunning photos in real life with our Photography Unlocked course!)
@Chuck YadmarkExactly. Especially if you learn some of the advanced features - that alone gave me such an edge in filing photos at sports. For example, just write the players' bib numbers into fields in already pre-made (during card ingest) caption and have the rest of the caption AND keywords fill in automatically with names and teams, priceless! Yes, it does require some work at the start of the year's league and work with IPTC templates, but you will thank yourself forever after.
Well, everybody has their own workflow and ideas, but I, for one, like the ingest, FTP, and naming features of photo mechanic, but I fail to see the value of a $400 DAM program that is essentially a fast browser. Maybe if your images are jpgs or finished images, this would work, but I'll take a Lightroom or Capture One over it, even if it is a lot faster to browse. Most of my images are raw files, and finding them or browsing is one thing, but I need to work the images so that a browser-only program won't do, but that's for my uses; for others, this thing might be just what they wanted.
Thanks for the hint! For the last month I have been testing ExcireForo (EF) against Photo Mechanic Plus (PMP) - very impressed with EF. I found PMP's cataloging function very powerful but flaky and unreliable - worked with helpful PMP support to iron out bugs over weeks - still some issues left. Result: It took forever to build catalog with 100,000 images (network drives). The PMP ingestion is powerful, but the interface is rather clunky and hard to operate.EF DAM is less powerful, but more reliable. Fewer browsing options, slower to load, faster to search. But the AI 'find pictures like' function is a game changer! Even though I loaded 300,000 photos into the catalog (network + local drives) - 3x the number to PMP.Of course EF has NO ingestion function, but I am quite happy with Breeze Downloader Pro update @ $20.And here is the other clincher. I bought EF on BF w/e @ US$39 by going to the US shop. PMP is on special for BF w/e @ US$229. Right now, I am happy with my new purchase.
You have several ways to keyword (and not only write keywords, all the IPTC metadata, unlike Lightroom, PM supports the IPTC standard fully, including "esoteric" fields like Model Release and others).1) Generic event IPTC during card ingest (usually, pros ingest after or during a single event)2) IPTC template (stamping selected photos with any IPTC data incl. keywords)3) Keywords Panel - allows you to select specific keywords from a list to apply to any number of photos4) Structured Keywords - apply hierarchical keywords from a master keyword list from a "controlled vocabulary" with search (such controlled vocabularies are used by agencies, Library of Congress and other organisations). Basically, if you use controlled vocabulary to add keyword "cat", it will also add keywords like "feline", "mammal" et cetera. 5) PM has (AFAIK) no face recognition. FR might be great for family snapshots and selfies, but is quite useless for pro use so far, which is what's PM for. 2ff7e9595c
