Now this just happens to be a brand new iPhoto Library that I just created. And typically this is stored in your pictures folder in your user settings.Ĭlick right here in the Finder application. And then the second thing is the iPhoto Library file, and this is the house that I spoke of. If I go into my application folder, and my user settings and scroll down, you will see the application right here. The first thing is the application itself. Now iPhoto is made up of two separate things. And where do you keep these things? You keep them in your house. I like to think of a photo manager like a house. It was built to hold and protect all of your important images. I’m Curtis Bisel from Scan Your Entire Life and the reason why this is the most important thing is because iPhoto is a non-destructive photo manager. I believe that the most important thing that everyone who uses iPhoto should know is where and how iPhoto stores all of your images and this is all controlled by one tiny little setting right here in the iPhoto preferences called “Copy items to the iPhoto Library”. (If for no other reason than it took me a long time to edit it! □ ) So if you use iPhoto, please check out this short 6-minute video. You aren't forced to keep all your photos inside of iPhoto if you don't want to. When activated, it will enable you to keep your photos stored on your hard drive or Solid State Drive in any place you would like. Like its big brother Aperture, iPhoto has a rarely talked about feature. I also included a little bit of “advanced” information that many of you long-time iPhoto users may not even know. This is the foundation of how iPhoto works. In fact, it's so important that I decided to put together a nice little tutorial video explaining these basics. I can't think of anything that should be more important to an iPhoto user than knowing where they are really saved. You just honestly haven't really seen them with your own eyes in a long time. I mean, you know they're stuffed in there somewhere. If you're an iPhoto user, have you ever wondered to yourself where your original photo files are actually stored on your computer?
