Easy way to transfer photos from one mac to another (and keep keywords from photos!)?

[Loa]

Hello,

I have a huge library on my main mac and I'd like to transfer a part of it on my MacBook Pro (both are running El Capitan and latest version of Photos). Is there a way to do that and keep the keywords?

Thanks

Hmm, I was curious so I played around. I added a few keywords to a photo in Photos.

When I drag 'n dropped this photo to the Desktop, right-click > Display Info showed the Keywords were included in the picture.

When I used File > Export in Photos, a screen popped up asking if I wanted to included Title, Keywords and Descriptions, as well as Location Information.

Looks like you might have two ways of doing it.

Hello,

Wow! That works! Didn't even try to do the simple method. Never thought we could bundle metadata in a jpg file.

Such simplicity brings back memories of Apple from the 90's...

Thanks!
