How do I determine the actual size of my Photos library? I've got a 144GB iPhoto library and a 161GB Photos library on my hard drive, suggesting 300GB of Photos.

But within the Photos app, Info says I have 113GB GB of photos.

Photos uploaded 80GB of photos into my 200GB iCloud family account and then quit. I have 90GB free in iCloud (with all the other backups taking another 30GB of space). But trying to turn back on iCloud Photo Library, it says I need an additional 240GB of storage and I have to upgrade to the $10/mo 1TB iCloud plan.

So...? How do I figure out if I have 300GB or 100GB of photos? And if it's really 100GB, how do I explain that to iCloud which thinks it's 300GB?

Thanks. :)
