You can only open one Library at a time, so if you search for a photo don't you just know it will be in one of the other ones? But which one? I agree with Larry that one Library is best. I want my photos organized by Who - What - When - Where - Why - who, when and where are handled by faces, places and the photo dates from my camera - then add key words for what & why and use smart albums to organize along with searches Or combine them into even larger groups of photos [ finding photos by date is trivial usnt the search window in the lower leftįolders exist in '11 - they contain albums or other folders and are used for a tree structure of photos - vacations => France => (Provence - Normandy - Paris) United States => (Maine New York ) etcĪLbums should be used for photos that you want easy access to - usually a search or smart album is better No - it is best to have one library - iPhoto is a relational database and it works best to have everything in one database - you are think of file management rather that photo management

What is the best way to start fresh? I need help with a concept of how to organize and move forward. Finally, what about Albums? Should I be conceiving Albums as a way of putting all my pictures in an Album for a certain year, or a certain "event" such as trips or birthdays? Do they still exist? What is the best way to use Folders? Maybe have a Folder such as "Favorites" or a Folder for "Desktop pictures" attempting to organize by use or theme?Ĥ. What is the best way to use iPhoto Libraries? Is it a good idea to have many Libraries so that they are less overwhelming, unruly, and too hard to deal with corruption? Maybe have one Library for "Early Family years", one for "geneology", one for "past 5 years" etc?Ģ What about within each Library? Is it best to use Events for dating a group of pictures as if it returned to you as a roll of pictures developed for certain dates?ģ. I have not organized this well and am trying to do it right.ġ.
