I have a MacBook Air with a 128-gigabyte hard drive and have realized that it is fast filling up with high-resolution picture albums in the Photos app. I don’t use iCloud and don’t want to store my pictures online.

Fatima, if you only have one iPhoto (Or Photos for anyone use this application, which works the same way) library file, and you move it to an external drive, then the only way to save files to your internal drive now, is to create a second iPhoto (or Photos) library file to contain photos in that location.

Drag the PhotosLibrary.photoslibrary file to the new drive’s desktop icon (or onto its icon in the window’s sidebar). If you the library file, the Mac will copy it to the new location and then delete the file from its original spot, but you might want to make sure everything is copied properly to the new drive first — and then delete the old library file manually.
