[QUOTE="skybolt, post: 446331, member: 30261"] Do not mess with the organization of iPhoto in the finder!!! Do all of your organization from within the iPhoto app! You will create heartache and misery if you mess with the finder. Pretend the library in finder does not exist! To Import your photos and keep your organization, import them folder by folder (I know, takes a while, but if you want to retain your organization, that is the way to do it). Once you have your "rolls" imported, create an album by clicking on file, new album. Then drag your corresponding photos into that. If you want a structure like "Vacations" then under that, maybe "Paris 2006", "Italy 2007" (I'm dreaming, here!), etc., create a folder named Vacations, and drag your yearly (or whatever) albums into that. Easy! Another hint to make sorting easier, is to rename your "rolls" (particularly the ones you import later on from your camera) to something more descriptive. Then you can collapse the rolls (little grey triangle next to the name), and get a good idea of what is on that roll. You can even move photos from roll to roll if you wish. Good luck -- remember, STAY OUT OF THE FINDER! [/QUOTE]
