OK, I have nearly got my head around the whole SQL database utilization for iPhoto.
Now - I need to know about the database - originals vs modified
Does iPhoto automatically duplicate photos that have been imported?
I can see 2 folders:-
Originals
Modified
Both have copies of the same file structure and photos. [same number of folders and photos].
The only difference is that if a photo has been edited, the edited photo is displayed in the 'modified' folder file structure.
If so, I think that is a complete waste of HD space. I wouldnt mind it duplicating photos and folders if I edited a specific one - but to duplicate every photo on import is a waste of space and money.
