I'm using iPhoto 06 as a photomanager. I've already created albums in iphoto. Can I actually delete the photos stored in "Originals" inside iphoto library but still maintain the photos in my iphoto album? I'm really running low on disk space
Let me see: it's possible that your iPhoto duplicated the originals located somewhere else in your system (internal or external hard drive). Please check your iPhoto Preferences, and under the Advanced tab, make sure that the box, Copy items to iPhoto library is unchecked. If it is, then indeed your photos are duplicated. I don't know what else you can do except to start over by deleting your iPhoto library and re-importing your photos. I also suggest that you transfer them to an external drive and re-import. Repeat: uncheck the box, Copy items to iPhoto library. iPhotoDiet would be great too if all you need is a little housecleaning.
this is my problem too... iphoto library takes up majority of my harddrive and i dont know how to tidy it up. hahaha
I just used iphoto diet. Minimal storage were retrieved. I guess the best solution would be an upgrade to a bigger HDD
I have the same problem..... too many duplicate photos. Basically my iPhoto is one big "tambakan" of photos. I have been promising myself that I will make time to sort out my photos but have never been able to do it. Now, I am overwhelmed with all the photos and don't know where to start. What to do? iPhoto Diet looks good but is not yet ready for iPhoto 7. Is there another option to "cleaning up" my photos the easy way? Please help. Thanks.
i bit the bullet and physically pruned down more than 12,000 photos to about 2,500--by choosing just the ones i really liked, and moving them over to my macbook air. the rest remained in my old mac in storage. the good thing about choosing only the best and the most meaningful is that, beyond saving space, it makes you look like a much better photographer than you really are every shot is in focus!
Any professional recovery tool can retrieve those encrypted photos easily. So, there is any effective way to permanently erase some unwanted photos from your iPhone. The most secure way is using professional third-party software like iPhone Data Eraser, which is a reliable and effective tool to smash photos and other personal data.
