iPhoto and external drive
Hi
I have a 1Tb external hdd connected to my Mac. I have a iPhoto library on my external hdd which I can access using the Option key when booting into iPhoto. My question is, I would like to delete some iPhoto folders on my Mac to free up some space. If I then export the library over to the external drive, will this new library then overwrite the existing library on the external drive and therefore I lose those same folders/photos also? I would like to keep these less accessed photos on the external drive, but dont want them overwritten with a new library. Also, Is there a way of backing up new photos to the external drive without always moving the whole library?
Thanks for your advice.
