Hey guys.

I have a 128GB Macbook Air, and I just bought a shiny new camera :D.

Problem is, I want my shiny new camera to shoot pictures at highest possible quality, and picture files are coming out at about 30mb each! :eek: My 128gb Macbook Air will surely run out of space quickly because of this camera...

I like using iPhoto to organize my photos (and also because it can easily process raw photos from my camera).



So tl;dr, I'm wondering if my Macbook can manage an iPhoto library on a USB external hard drive.
And I'm also wondering if I could plug that external hard drive with the iPhoto library into other Macs so family members can also check out pictures.

Thanks in advance!!
