[QUOTE="fletch33, post: 883912, member: 32473"] just like iTunes you can hold down "option" when starting up iPhoto and choose the library you would like to use. so if it were me i : 1. use the NAS library as the "main" library to hold all of your pics 2. use the 500GB Macbook to point to that NAS library and then use that macbook to import my camera pics as often as possible to prevent new pics from being on other macs and having to merge 3. if you do get those cases like the 300 pics you mention above then you need to get [URL="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"]iPhoto Library Manager[/URL] to merge those pics into your 500GB Macbook library which is actually your main library on the NAS. that software is worth the money and i searched for a free way and it just isnt out there that is this easy. now you can "option" start iPhoto on any of your macs and choose that NAS library and see all your pics on all of your macs. i hope that made sense. even if your on the road with your 500GB macbook and you fire up iPhoto you can use the main library on that Macbook while you are out and then merge it into the NAS library when you return. i run several macs with iPhoto at my house and this was something i had to solve as well.
