Making the MoveĪpple has endeavored to transfer your data from iPhoto to Photos, even though several features (Events, star ratings) no longer exist.
#BRINGING IPHOTO LIBRARY INTO PHOTOS USING POWERPHOTOS UPGRADE#
Now there are two different files, both taking up disk space, living independently.įor Mac users accustomed to the a-file-is-a-file approach of the Finder, this one’s a bit of a head-scratcher, but it’s a smart move by Apple to allow us to migrate to Photos without duplicating an entire library and eating all of our free disk space-or worse, never bothering to upgrade to Photos because we don’t have the room. Basically, the act of modifying a hard-linked file (in either library) will cause the link to break. So what happens if you edit one of those files? Something clever, it turns out: if I use Photos to edit a file imported from iPhoto, the version in the Photos library is altered-but the version in the old iPhoto library remains untouched. ③ The libraries say they’re roughly the same size, but in fact, they’re sharing disk space via hard links.
