Photos in your System Photo Library are available in apps like iMovie, Pages, and Keynote. You can also sync them to iOS devices and view them on Apple TV. And if you want to use your own images as your desktop picture or screen saver, the images need to be in your System Photo Library before you can select them in System Preferences.
If you have only one photo library, then it's the System Photo Library. Otherwise, the first photo library that you create or open in Photos will become the System Photo Library. If you have more than one library, you might need to designate a System Photo Library, so other apps can access the photos and videos you want them to use.
Follow these steps to designate a System Photo Library:
- Quit Photos.
- Hold down the Option key and open Photos. One of the photo libraries is already designated as YourLibraryName (System Photo Library).
- Choose the library you want to designate as the System Photo Library.
- After Photos opens the library, choose Photos > Preferences from the menu bar.
- Click the General tab.
- Click the Use as System Photo Library button.
If you open a second or different library in the Photos app, and you haven't designated it as the System Photo Library, other applications will use photos from the original System Photo Library. Hold down the Option key when you open Photos to see which library is set as the System Photo Library.

If you want to keep the contents of your photo libraries separate, don’t turn on iCloud Photos for more than one library in Photos.
Sometimes, you need to access the /Library folder that’s in your home folder (the one with the house icon and your user name). For a while now, this folder has been hidden.
Previously, you could access this by press the Option key, then selecting the Go menu in the Finder. The Option key would add Library to the list of locations in that menu. But this was changed when 10.12.2 was released. Instead of pressing the Option key, you need to press the Shift key. You can also open that folder more easily by pressing Command-Shift-L.
Not a big deal, but if you’re used to using the Option key, you may be surprised to find it doesn’t work any more.
