iPhoto Library Manager Icon

Copying individual photos


If you have photos you wish to copy to another library, but they are not organized into albums in a way that makes it convenient to copy, you can also select photos in iPhoto and drag them directly to a library in the iPhoto Library Manager window to copy them to another library. All their keywords, ratings, etc. will be copied along with the photos, just like when you copy albums/events from within iPhoto Library Manager.


In order to be sure that this extra information will come over, you should drag the photos from iPhoto's window, and not from a Finder window or some other program that lets you drag files. If you drag from somewhere else, iPhoto Library Manager will not necessarily know that the photos belong to an iPhoto library, and so they will be treated as regular photos, the extra information associated with them will not be brought into the destination library.
