If I have my pictures on a external harddrive and want to look at them in iPhoto on my Air, have fast can I slide throwh the pictures? The external harddrive will be an USB 3,0
iPhoto '11, Macbook Air
About the same as if they are on your internal disk.
As an FYI:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
