Iphoto

Hi ,


If i save few pics from an external hard disk to the MAC desktop and then import it to iphoto, then is there a need of keeping pics on the desktop, as i guess that once they are imported to iphoto, they automatically gets saved. Also if they do get saved, where do they originally get stored and is the size taken for storing in iphoto same?


Regards

MacBook Pro

You can delete the pictures as long as "Copy photos to the iphoto library" is check in Iphoto Preferences < Advanced. Only do this after the import.


The files are stored in the iPhoto library in iphoto, your not going to find them in finder. They're stored in the same file size.


Hope that answers your questions.


Cheers.
