[QUOTE="Pomeroy, post: 1238157, member: 91360"] Everything you import into iPhoto will be listed under Library but this is not where you need to organize your photos. Events is not a good place to organize either, I find it is just a place to start organizing. To get you started, under iphotos Edit menu select "NEW" and then "Smart Album". Give the new Smart Album the Name of one of your camera's and give it the rule "Camera Model" - "is"-and select your camera name from the dropdown list and then click OK. You will now see a Smart Album pop up on the left sidebar of iPhoto will all the photos taken with that camera, Do this will all the cameras you have. For scanned photos make a Keyword "Scanned" by clicking "command + k" to bring up the Keyword editor. Then make a Smart Album for them called Scanned and give it the rule "Keyword" - "is" - "Scanned" and click OK. By using Smart Album and Keywords you can organize your photos so you can find any photo just by typing a few key strokes in the Search box on the bottom left of iPhoto. Use the iPhotos "View" menu to sort by Date, Keyword, Title or Rating. With a little forethought you can organize you photos so you can find any photo with just a few keystrokes. [/QUOTE]
