[QUOTE="jroller, post: 700415, member: 62441"] Based on what you wrote, it sounds like you are creating duplicates (or more) by using image capture to import. Why do you not just let iPhoto handle the imports? That would be my suggestion. You absolutely MUST continue making backups, but hopefully your backups are not on the Mac itself. Save to an external drive. I [B]strongly[/B] recommend Time Machine; backup without all the hassle. This will take care of your backups for you. iPhoto creates a very similar hierarchy for saving the files, actually. Inside the library folder (which you can open by right or control clicking the iPhoto Library and selecting Show Package Contents) you will see a hierarchy which includes this, for example: Originals --> 2008 --> January 1, 2008 --> List of photos from that date. Some people don't seem to like iPhoto's approach, but that is the structure. By the way, if you want to help your Mac perform better, I recommend upgrading your RAM to 4 gigs. [/QUOTE]
