Album copying options
When copying albums, iPhoto Library Manager will copy all the photos in the albums you're copying over to the destination library. By default, these photos will be organized into the same rolls/events that they belonged to in the original library. You can change this behavior if you wish using the following options:
- Preserve the original rolls/events. This is the default behavior. It will import a single roll/event for each roll/event in the source library that contains at least one of the photos being copied. Note that, if the copied albums contain some, but not all of the photos in a given roll/event, the imported roll/event will have the same name, comment/description, and date as the source roll/event, but will only contain those photos that are in the albums being copied.
- Create one roll/event per album. Instead of following the roll organization from the source library, iPhoto Library Manager will create a new set of rolls, importing one roll per album copied. Each roll will have the same name and comment as the album it represents and will have the default date assigned to it by iPhoto when importing. Note that if a single photo belongs to more than one album being copied, that photo will only be imported once and belong to only one of the imported rolls.
- Create one roll/event for all the albums. This option will import all the photos as a single roll, whose name, comment, and date will be the default values assigned by iPhoto
