Fat Cat Software has released PowerPhotos 2.0, a major update for the longstanding Photos library manager that improves performance and handling of iCloud Photos compatibility. PowerPhotos works with the built-in Photos app on your Mac and helps you find and eliminate duplicate photos, split large libraries into smaller ones, merge libraries, export photos and albums, and more.
PowerPhotos 2 now sees and works with any photos in your iCloud photo library (automatically downloading as needed), introduces a more capable export function (with options such as exporting as a flat folder and including videos from Live Photos and all photos from a burst), adds a global menu bar item for quicker access, enables you to organize libraries into groups in the sidebar, quickens the speed of library loading, and uses a new duplicate comparison algorithm that can find more photos that are not quite identical. PowerPhotos 2 is a free upgrade for those who purchased the app on or after 6 April 2022 and is discounted by 50% for those who purchased any previous version of PowerPhotos or iPhoto Library Manager. ($29.95 new, $14.95 upgrade, 29.5 MB, release notes, macOS 11+)

How to Unhide the Library Folder the Apple Way. You can access the hidden Library folder without using Terminal, which has the side effect of revealing every hidden file on your Mac. This method will only make the Library folder visible, and only for as long as you keep the Finder window for the Library folder open. Mar 01, 2018 Alternately you could enable iCloud Photo Library for the library on your internal drive, with 'Optimize storage'. The original image files will be stored in iCloud, and if the Mac needs to free storage, iCloud Photo Library will remove older originals and keep only the thumbnails stored locally.
After checking the various free software apps I selected Shotwell to be the new home of my photo library. It runs well on my tablet and it works well in combination with advanced apps like Darktable and GIMP. It can automatically import new photos, organise them by year and month, and provide me with quick ways to export my photos. This works best for me, but you might select a different application or method to organise your photos. The beautiful thing about free software is that you can decide for yourself what works best for you.
