Version History 2.5.8 (2068)

• After clicking "Cancel" when asked about backing up an optimized iCloud library before a merge, we now return to the merge preview instead of cancelling the merge altogether.
• Fixed a "Unacceptable type of value for attribute" error that could occur converting certain iPhoto 8 libraries.
• We now display a warning when trying to create a library on an ExFAT disk, as Photos can sometimes have issues with libraries stored there.
• The "Reveal in Photos" menu item now selects both the current album and the photo inside that album, instead of just selecting the photo in the main "Library" album.
• Fixed an issue where some duplicate videos would not be detected when different versions of iPhoto/Photos had durations off by a fraction of a second stored for them upon import.
• Fixed an error that could occur on certain setups when creating a new library.
• If an error occurs in the merge process before getting to the report/preview stage, we now return to the setup screen instead of cancelling the whole merge.

Description:

The ultimate toolbox for Photos on your Mac
PowerPhotos works with the built-in Photos app on your Mac, providing an array of tools to help you get your photo collection in order.

Create and manage multiple libraries
The main windowInstead of being limited to putting all your photos in a single library, PowerPhotos can work with multiple Photos libraries, giving you many more options for how to organize your ever growing photo collection.

Splitting your photos between multiple libraries helps Photos open more quickly, lets you archive older photos, store some of your collection on an external hard drive, and reduce storage space used by iCloud Photo Library.

Copy photos and their metadata
The main windowYou can split your library by copying albums and photos with a simple drag and drop. PowerPhotos will take care of copying the photos and retaining their metadata, including keywords, descriptions, titles, dates, and favorite status. Read more about what PowerPhotos can copy.

Merge Photos libraries
The main windowGot a whole bunch of libraries you want to consolidate into one? PowerPhotos lets you merge your libraries together while weeding out duplicate photos in the process. You will be shown a preview of what your merged library will look like before any modifications are done, to ensure your merged library looks how you want.

Find duplicate photos
The main windowIt's easy to have multiple copies of the same photo creep into your photo collection over time. Use PowerPhotos to find duplicate photos in one or more libraries, view them side by side, and separate them into albums where you can easily delete them from your library.

Browse and search
The main windowUse PowerPhotos' image browser to quickly view your photos without having to open Photos itself. View detailed photo information using List View, and search for photos across all your libraries at once.

Migrate your iPhoto/Aperture libraries
The main windowIf you have a lot of existing iPhoto or Aperture libraries that you want to migrate over to Photos, PowerPhotos will help automate your migrations so you don't have to spend time babysitting this lengthy process.
