Q: iPhoto Mass Export

I need to have my Mac reimaged. Before I do that, I need to back up all of my photos. Is there an easy way to export all of my photos to an external HD, keeping in the same folders in which they are already organized in iPhoto?

 

My specifics:

MacBook Pro

OS X 10.8.5

4GB memory

2.5 Gz Intel Core i5

 

Using iPhoto '11

Version 9.4.3

MacBook Pro

    Export using the subfolder option to create folders matching your events - Exporting From iPhoto

     

    But you will lose a whole lot going the export route  - you do not want june your photos but you do want your entire library  - to keep everything with no changes you simply make a copy of the iPhoto library by dragging it to a drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) - that will keep everything exactly as it currently is
