Merge multiple iPhoto libraries onto one external disk

iPhoto Library Manager can certainly merge libraries. It may not magically purge all your duplicates, however. Which is good, because it would be better to keep lots of annoying copies than delete one valuable original that has no copies.

But you might consider how this state of affairs came to pass and whether a more comprehensive and flexible photo managing solution might be in order. iPhoto Manager isn't gonna be able to help you after the merge, and you'd still need a photo organizing scheme. So you could spend the $30 and still have problems.

It's kinda hard to recommend Aperture since it isn't going to be further developed, but it still works and it can merge and help organize all those photos. Sorta depends on how valuable they are and what your time is worth.

 

Aperture is expensive. Is there any other option?

 

iPhoto Library Manager helped me round up years worth of duplicate iPhoto libraries!
