I hate iPhoto. It has ruined me. What started as a great, beautiful, visual way to organize my photos has quickly become a hellhole I shun unless I absolutely need to find an old photo.
Is there any migration software out there that exports all of my iPhoto library into folders of photos based on date? Going into the iPhoto library through finder leads to a myriad of folders that make absolutely no sense, or else I would do that.
For those curious as to why I want to kill iPhoto with my bare hands, here it is:
I have tens of thousands of photos there, upwards of 70,000, from the past 5 years mostly. I had everything organized into events that were labled etc. One day, I open my iPhoto, and all 70,000 photos are in a single ********ing event. All my organization, ordering, labels, and naming, gone. Further, now whenever I open my iPhoto, I'm greeted with the spinning beachball of death for about half an hour while my photostream, faces, and places update. (Why I can't turn off faces and places is beyond me, beyond).
I simply can't use it. Not even because I don't want to, but because all I get is a spinning beachball. I literally cannot use it.
Sorry. End rant. If someone knows of a good method of divorce, migration, exile, please let me know.
Thank you.

Also, clicking and dragging from the library itself won't work. I have RAW (CR2) and Jpegs of the same image in multiple events, clicking and dragging a CR2 out of iPhoto converts it to a jpeg for reasons beyond my understanding. (!@$*@$!&^*@!!@%&!!!)
