I have spent so many hours today clicking on my pictures in my iPhoto and try to locate them in my finder. For me, that my main point was to empty my pictures folder to open up some space on my Mac which only has 10 GB free left. I found that not only I have all the originals on my Mac but also I have a preview and a modified version of them as well...this tells me that I have basically 3 versions of each picture on my Mac with different sizes. I tried to delete those originals that I didn't want, but still there were stored so many places that I just gave up. For one image: I had to delete original, modified and one under some strange folder name with all kind of letters. something like

One of my biggest fear is I have to redo all of these works or I may lose everything I have done when the next iOS upgrade comes around ( as it happened to my previous versions of iPhoto). even tags in finder.
I am sure there should be a way that I can import my pictures on the folder of my choice with out a version of it be stored somewhere on my computer.
Do I make sense?
