[QUOTE="skybolt, post: 1005911, member: 30261"] You can easily store all your photos on an external and use iPhoto to access. Simply put your entire iPhoto library on the external like this: [url=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iPhoto/8.0/en/6331.html]iPhoto 8.0 Help: Moving your iPhoto Library folder to a new location[/url]. Then, start iPhoto with the Option key pressed down, and when asked, choose the library on your external. That way, none will be added to your internal drive. The external will remain your default drive until you change it by doing the Option start again and choosing a different library. And, stay out of the library in the finder. Do not do anything to/with your photos there, or iPhoto will be unable to find them for you. Forget that library exists, except for moving it as described above. [/QUOTE]
