Q: How to restore iPhoto to its original size?
I had recently upgraded my iMac to 21.5-inch with OSX 10.8.5 and iPhoto '11.
In the process of wanting to transfer all my photos at iPhoto Library from my old Mac (OSX ver. 10.6.8 with iPhoto '08 ver. 7.1.5), I have accidentally reduced my iPhoto Library's size from 24GB to 14.8GB. when working with my Time Machine and Finder (TM showed the lesser size). Would like very much to know what are the implications? I'm unsure whether anything or any photos have gone missing.
However, when I open the iPhoto Library, it stated at the bottom bar, the exact number of photos/events as was previously therein and other details such as file name/keywords/etc are intact.
Would appreciate very much your expert advice before I transfer this reduced sized iPhoto library to my new imac. Or should further restoration be made using the Time Machine from the iPhoto window (Browse backups and restore/restore all)?
Much thanks for any help offered.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Copy iPhoto Library to iMac M/Lion

Just to update on the current status of my missing photos...
I've purchased the Disk Drill's data recovery software and am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel! So very happy... probably 95% of my missing photos can be retrieved. Am still filling the empty-photo thumbnails gradually with the recovered jpeg images... though a humongous task ahead, I'm absolutely thrilled beyond description.
A big THANK YOU to Ms. Emily of Apple Care Phone Support and LarryHN for all assistance rendered. God bless.
