[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 973533, member: 59143"] If I remember correctly, iPhoto creates several versions of each of your photos in case you want different sizes. I'm not sure if there's a setting which will curtail this activity, or if I'm even accurate about this. But I do seem to remember wrestling with it when I tried iPhoto for the first and last time before ditching it for Lightroom. Wasn't the only reason I ditched it, but I do remember saying how silly I thought it was that it created files that I didn't want or need. Just FYI.. there ARE alternatives to iPhoto. :o Mostly not free alternatives, but better *IMO* alternatives, nonetheless. The first free one that comes to mind is Google's Picasa.
