Hello!

Every time I take photos I take lots of it and create an album of the favorites.
I now have a library that is way to huge for my MacBook Pro's SSD and I would like to keep all variations of my motives. But a library of just the favorites could easily be 10-20GB.

Is it possible to have a setting in Photos that when I import my photos to the "big" library on my extHD, I can make an album of the favorites and click "transfer this album to the MacBook library please"?

Current solution is
- Have the big library on extHD
- Have a temporary small library on my macbook and melt them together when its too big

With this solution I constantly have this messy, temporary library on the Mac and all my favorite photos on the extHD.


Thanks for any help in advance! (And sorry if my english is difficult to understand.)
