However, iPhoto/Photos was/is creaking with the amount of photos I have. I use iPhoto (now Photos) and briefly looked at Adobe Lightroom, but didn’t really need the pro features for the handful of times I shoot in RAW. The next part of the question is how best to manage photos. I’m still uncomfortable with the thought of all my family photos being online somewhere, which I accept may be a little illogical as I do use cloud back up for other items. I would like to share a database with my husband, so we can store family and travel photos from phones and cameras. My next laptop will probably have a 512GB or smaller SSD, so I will need another way to store them.
I store my photos on a six-year-old MacBook Pro, which still has a traditional hard drive.
