iPhoto onto External Hard drive
I want to be able to open iPhoto from my external hard drive and see my sorted folders I have already created while it was in my internal hard drive.
I have backed up my iPhotos by copying my iPhoto library to the hard drive, but this does not allow me to actually use iPhoto once it is on the hard drive and/or see the photos as they are saved as a mass amount of unnamed .jpg files and I can never find what I need.
I have read that you copy pictures file to external hard drive then hold options key to select iPhoto to use, but I do not have the iPhoto logo anywhere but in my applicatons folder and not in my pictures file. Am I doing this wrong?
Please help, computer is really starting to run slow!
