Recently I deleted 2800 pics from iPhoto but then I found out the pics are still on my Mac (Finder, All Images). How do I delete the pics from iPhoto and my mac at the same time.

Misty,
Not a silly question at all. I use it for: photo books, calendars, syncing to my iPhone, iPod, Apple TV, syncing to Facebook, MobileMe and Flickr. I use Lightroom 2 for everything else.

terry,

this might be a silly question, but what’s your main use of iphoto? i never use it unless i’m building a photo book. i’ve never found a good use for the program on a regular basis. am i missing out on something?

You can’t! I was referring to creating a Calendar to Buy/Print right in iPhoto itself.

Terry,

How can I drag a photo to iCal … ??

I tried several ways but it didn’t work … I tried dragging from iPhoto and then from the finder and didn’t work too … BTW I have iLife 08

For managing a library, especially juggling multiple libraries, I use the iPhoto Library Manager. Yes, you could do it manually, but for $20, it takes the hassle out of keeping multiple libraries on my external drives, and frees up my laptop’s drive to keep my current photos (and my best as well).

If you’re trying to maintain the exact quality I would export them using the “Original” option in the format popup. Therefore no conversion should take place. Export them to an external drive for maximum speed. I would not go the CD route.

I would like to remove all 26.8K photos from iPhoto and put them on a separate drive so I can use a referenced library.

Should I export them all? Should I choose high or maximum quality? If I choose maximum, would that be just the same as the quality when they were imported?

Would this take forever? Is it better to go back to the 40 backup cds that I made before I put them into iPhoto and copy those to the separate drive?
