iPhoto Library Manager

Well, I still haven’t finished rebuilding my iPhoto library, but it’s mostly due to time restraints, not any additional problems. But in the meantime, I found a wonderful little app to manage my iPhoto Libraries.

The iPhoto Library Manager from Fat Cat Software, is a shareware app that easily organizes multiple library databases. I have been using it for a couple of weeks, and I just love it. I paid the $20 so I can have full access to the advanced features of the app, but it still works very well if you want to mess around with the free version.

What I love about the iPhoto Library Manager:

Create and/or add new libraries.
Easy to switch between libraries (no more restarting iPhoto holding down the Option & Apple keys)
Copy albums to another library; just drag the album(s) to the new library. It copies the photo files, as well as the meta data, like keywords and descriptions.
You can see the file size of your library database at a glance.
Rebuild library easily through the interface.

If your iPhoto albums are out of control and too large to handle, then give the iPhoto Library Manager a whirl. I am really excited to really get my albums in order, to free up some much needed space on my MacBook Pro.
