Which options do I have if I want to combine (merge) multiple iPhoto libraries into a single iPhoto (or Photos) library?
From what I've read so far there isn't an option for this within iPhoto or Photos itself (at least not officially, or with older versions of the app, so is purchasing the PowerPhotos tool my only option?
(Apple says you can import from another library into Photos, but this only applies for MacOS Monterey or later).

I'm on MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) with iPhoto 9.6.1 and Photos 4.0.
I noticed that PowerPhotos needs a minimum of MacOS 11 or later although I see you version 1.8.5 (for MacOS 10.14 Mojave) can be downloaded from their website. Is it possible to buy a normal license for the current version 2.5.5 and "downgrade" to an earlier version compatible with an older MacOS version?
