iPhoto 9.6 stuck on "Printing"

Using OS 10.10.2 with iPhoto 9.6.1 on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.

Every time I open iPhoto the application is stuck on "Printing" a photo. Eventually, a box appears that says I "run out of application memory" with iPhoto and Finder listed as the only 2 apps running. I force quit iPhoto, shutdown and restart my system but when I reopen iphoto it's still stuck. I can't seem to get out of this loop.

Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Do the following:

1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.

2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
