Combine two Photos Libraries

I am attempting to combine two Photos libraries. When I try to import the smaller library into the larger library, the smaller library is greyed out. Any idea why? Thanks.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.15

Thanks for reaching out, sphilipharris.


It looks like you were following the steps in Import photos from another library in Photos on Mac to merge two libraries. We can help.


You mentioned seeing the smaller library greyed out, and we wanted to make sure that enough time had passed for the merge to complete. If it hasn't, you may see one library greyed out until the merge finishes.


Let us know if there is any improvement.
