iphoto-time machine - restore the iphoto file on an external dirve

Hello Evrybody,

I'm trying to restore an ebook from timemachine on my iphoto library.

I'd like to restore only this file, but it doesn't seem to be possible.

Time machine is able ONLY to restore the entire iphoto library, just ofr on file.

Ok I decide to porceed in any case and restore the entire iphoto library( that is huge) but after hours of work timemachine sends the message"not enouth space on the hard disk, cannot restore the file". Of course I do not have such huge space available in my imac,

Would it possible to restore the iphoto library on an external driver? how can I tell to timemachine to not restore it on my imac but on the external driver?

thanks

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iphoo app problems

Try the following:

Select the folder where your iPhoto library should be y in the Finder.
Open TimeMachine and go back in time to the version of the library you want to restore.
Select the iPhoto Library and ctrl-click it, or right click it.
Select "Restore to" and select a folder on your external disk.

Regards

Léonie
