I was told to Trash Iphoto and reinstall it to remedy a "no available themes" problem.  If I do that will I lose all my photos?

    Have you tried to rebuild or repair your iphoto library or database? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638

    If you reinstall as long as you don't delete your iphoto library you'll be fine. You'll probably have to tell the new iPhoto which library to use after you reinstall though. Hold the option key down when starting iPhoto and select your library. Also just to be safe I would back up the iPhoto library BEFORE you do anything.
