[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1186879, member: 45350"] Your best options I believe are: 1) Use Filevault with a seperate user account. Everything in the account is encrypted as as single sparse image. The disadvantage is individual files are not backed up as in Time Machine. So backing it up means backing up the entire sparse image each time, rather than changed files. 2) In my opinion (as I mentioned in a previous post) your best option is to pick up Aperture from the APP store ($79) and put your Tattoo pictures in a seperate Aperture library in its own encrypted disk image. This does not have to be on an external drive. The library will be innaccessible and for all practical intents invisible until you open the disk image by double-clicking on it and entering your password. Are there other options. Probably, but these both work, have their own shortcomings, and are relatively easy to set up and manage. If you need any more specifics on how to do either or both of these post back or PM once you get your Mac. I would also reccomend 'Snow Leopard, The Missing Manual' as it details exactly how to do both of these. [/QUOTE]
