Can anyone tell me how to change the locaton of photos when they are imported to iPhoto?
Like in iTunes, you can change the location of the imported mp3's.
Thanx

You could try moving the iPhoto library and making an alias to the library folder in the place iPhoto is looking for the library folder.

I'm not sure what you mean... do you mean that you've moved the iPhoto application to another drive, but your imported photos still end up in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library and you want to change that?
It didn't work....I guess because I don't have a ~/Pictures on the other partition Any other thoughts?Originally posted by alex_ant
OK, then that should work. Make a folder called "iPhoto Library" (in fact, call it whatever you want - it will be your new iPhoto Library folder) and put it wherever you want to. Then ctrl+click it and choose "Make Alias." Move the alias to ~/Pictures and rename it "iPhoto Library." Now whenever iPhoto imports new photos, it will still put them in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library, BUT, that folder is not really a folder - it's an alias that will automatically redirect everything that's placed into it to that other folder you just made. So iPhoto will think that your iPhoto library is in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library, but it's really not.
