iPhoto '11 folder and trash question.
Hey everyone,
I tried to look, but could not find an answer to this question. I'll try and be quick.
My question is this:
When I move a photo or even to the iphoto trash, does that delete any remains of the photo after I empty the iphoto trash?
I ask because of what happened when I deleted duplicate photos using the Finder and not through iPhoto. Here is what I did:
The first time I opened iPhoto it asked me to import photos. I chose to import from MacHD>>>myUserName>>>Pictures.
After I did that, I noticed I had a bunch of duplicates from different folders within the Pictures folder.
I deleted some of these photos and a few of the folders using the Finder and moving them to the System Trash, then I emptied the System Trash.
When I opened iPhoto '11 back up, the Events and photos that I delete through the Finder were still in iPhoto.
Does this mean that when I import photos in iPhoto, the application creates it own "copy" of each photo? If so, if I delete a photo through iPhoto will it not remove it from the folder that I imported it from?
Thanks for the help and sorry if I missed this somewhere.
