Hi - I have about 20 folders of groups of photographs - which means my iphoto takes a long time to boot up. Is there an easy way to store the photos away and still have access to them through iPhoto easily?

Disable the shadow option

Burn them to a CD or DVD, and then only insert the CD/DVD when you need access to the old photos. Turning off the shadow will speed scrolling, but it won't speed loading.

I believe iPhotoBuddy does what you want. You have several Libraries to chose from, that gives still instant access but much faster response while in one library.

I don't know why you can't set default startup folders in iBook. When iBook first starts up, it loads every single photos into the startup, which seems pretty stupid. I hope Apple adds such a feature in the future version.

Pretty devastating if you have the following equation: Company over Digital Camera to plug in Porn in iPhoto /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
That happened to a....uh....friend of mine. It really sucked.....apparently. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

So is there an easy way to burn them onto CD-R (I have an iMac 700 MHz) -or- do I have to painsteakedly export all the photos..?

There's a big BURN button right in iPhoto...

Oops, I meant iPhoto, not iBook. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Anyway, I think iPhoto should remember the last album opened and open that (like iTunes).

Hi Everyone - Finally got a couple blank CDR's - looks like I can BURN all my photos onto 2 CD's. Final Question before I delete all my photos from iphoto: If I want to view an 'Album' off the CDR how does iPhoto handle looking at Photos on a CDR?

So just 'how long' does it take to Prepare and burn 2100 photos???? all night?

[griffman]

On my machine, it took only an hour or so, at the most, to prepare and burn 2,200+ images to a DVD-R. I don't recall exactly how long it was, as I was using the machine to do other stuff at the same time, but it wasn't too bad.

[Tom_Diola]

I waited almost 1.5 hours and then gave up. . .

You could also just drag the iPhoto Library from the Finder to a DVD-R and then Burn, but if you have to burn to CD-Rs, then you need to find a way to split it so it will fit on each CD-R...
