iPhoto Library Manager Icon

Importing new photos into a library


In addition to copying photos that are already in one of your iPhoto libraries, you can also use iPhoto Library Manager to import new photos from your hard drive into one of your iPhoto libraries. To do so, just drag one or more photos or folders full of photos from the Finder and drop them onto a library or album in the iPhoto Library Manager window. The photos will be imported into the library they were dropped on, and if dropped on an album, they will also be added to the album that they were dropped on.


In addition to importing the photos, iPhoto Library Manager can also be configured to assign metadata to the photos you imported based on attributes found in the photos being imported. The following settings can be found in the preferences window:
