[QUOTE="Wheeljack, post: 813642, member: 37466"] ey everyone, I've recently started to use iPhoto again ('09). I used previous versions in the past but was never satisfied on how the application handle original and modified pictures in the database, I was running low on disk space quite often. There are still some issues with it that I'd like to get fixed. The most important one is to find out if there's a way to commit the changes to a picture once it's edited, so that I'm only left with the edited version. The reason I want this is because I always download my pictures to an external drive and then import (copy) them to my iPhoto library. This way I have a backup of the original files and a another copy that I can safely edit on my Mac. Now, when I'm done with a picture and I know that I wont be reverting it to it's original state (if I ever need to, I have the originals backed up), how can I tell iPhoto to commit the changes and keep only the edited version and delete the original? The most annoying occurrence of this is when a picture doesn't need any more editing than a simple crop or rotate. I end up with two copies of pretty much the same photo! If there's a simple way I can accomplish this I would very much appreciate you share it with me. [/QUOTE]
