Q: Photo library too big for hard drive
My iMac has two internal drives - a 250 solid state hard drive, and a 1 TB drive for data. I'm in the process of importing about 80 GB of photos. In order to be able to access them on my other Apple devices via iCloud, I know they have to be on the HARD DRIVE, but I don't have enough room due to the large number of iTunes files already there. Is there any solution to this? I'd love to be able to share all my photos among the desktop, iPhone and iPad. Thank you.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Launch iPhoto, Aperture, or Photos with the Option key held down, create a library on the external drive, and if you're using Photos, set it as the system library. The volume used to store it needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.
