I tried Image Playground on an M1 Max Mac Studio and it was able to use my Photos library.
However, on my M4 Pro MBP it cannot.
Both Macs are running Sequoia 15.2.
I tried turning Apple Intelligence off and on a few times.
There are plenty of persons and pets in my Photos library, and they do appear on the Mac Studio, but on the MBP all I get is this:
Any suggestions?
TIA
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.2
I realized that I had changed the system library for the Photos app. Follow these instructions for designating a system library in Photos.
A work-around I used was to click on the Photo icon in the lower right corner of the app and select Choose Photo.
A pop-up window opened showing my Photos library and I was able to manually select a person from People & Pets.
I suspect these actions may have connected a link between Image Playground and Photos because when I returned to use the app a few hours later all the people in my Photos library were available when clicking on the Person/Choose button. (Maybe it just needed some time to sync 🤔 ) Hope this helps!
Thank you for your reply.
Using the "Choose Photo..." does show a very small number of photos from my Photos library, but the vast majority of them are not appearing.
Thank you!
I know how to set a system photo library. I had not done this on my MBP and that was the cause of the problem! Yay!
Image Playground cannot access my photos on one mac but can on the other
