While limited in its functions, iPhoto Library Manager for Mac works well as a basic photo file manager.Įditors' note: This is a review of the trial version of iPhoto Library Manager for Mac 4.0.6. While iPhoto Library Manager for Mac does not advertise itself as a photo editor, some basic editing features would have been a welcome addition to the program, rather than simply directing the user to iPhoto. Users can also merge libraries as well as locate and delete duplicate photos, a welcome option for those who are in need of hard drive space. The graphics associated with the buttons are easy to read. These allow creation of new libraries, adding existing libraries, and opening iPhoto for further editing. After the program automatically loads the photos available on the computer, the user can select from a number of buttons along the top row of the program. Support for updates appeared to be available and, while there were no easily located instructions, the program's menus were easy to figure out. The program's download and installation, in part due to the native installer, completed quickly, and setup required acceptance of a user agreement. If you migrate your existing iPhoto library to Photos, the iPhoto library will not be removed. You can still use iPhoto and iPhoto Library Manager alongside Photos if you wish. While limited in terms of features, iPhoto Library Manager for Mac works well as a library manager.Īvailable as a free trial version with limitations that are not apparent, the full version requires payment of $29.95. For those brave souls who do install Photos, the current version of iPhoto Library Manager (4.1.11) does not have any interaction with the new app, or with a Photos library. Users with multiple digital photo storage areas may have difficulty working with them using traditional photo programs.
