Hello, my macbook pro is getting sluggish and some of the programs (lightroom & photoshop) keep closing because the hard drive is almost full. My "all images" folder is full of raw photographs as well as jpgs. I was trying to save them to a external hard drive and for some reason i cant cut and paste. Is there another way to clean this ole thing out? Maybe im trying the cut and paste thing wrong.

jsut drap them over to the external drive it will copy them, no need to cut an paste, once they are copied, delete them from your internal hard drive than empty the trash
