Aperutre and Media Pro 1 are two DAM apps. If you visit The DAM Forumwhich is a forum for professional photographers relating to the management of photos and the applications to do so. If you're a photographer losing the original files can be catastrophic.Īlso you might want to consider using a professional digital asset management application to manage your photos. This way you'll have a smaller traveling library and your full "stationary" library.Īlso take Limmos' recommendation to heart about getting two external HDs - one for your library and one to backup both your MBP and the EHD with the library on it. You can copy new events from your MBP library to the library on the external HD with iPhoto Library Manager which will copy the events while keeping keywords, titles, locations, etc. Then create a new library on the MBP for just the most recent or needed photos. One approach is to put your full library on an external HD, test it to make sure it's working correctly and delete it from your MBP. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
From that point on this will be the default location of your library.Ĥ. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.ģ.
IPHOTO LIBRARY MANAGER REVIEW 2012 MAC OS
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)Ģ.
Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
