iPhoto Exporting.

[Gibson88]

I want to export my iPhoto Library to a folder and put it on my external HDD as a backup, the problem is I don't know what setting to choose to not loose image quality.

I don't know if I should export them as JPEGS and choose the maximum image quality setting, or if I should pick original or current (what is the difference between the last two?)

Any help would be appreciated.

In other words, you can copy the entire iPhoto library to an external drive, you do not need to export out the individual pictures. Doing so will keep the organizational structure of the library, and also preserve any of the keepsakes projects you have created. Simply drag & drop the iPhoto library package from the Pictures folder in your home folder to a connected external hard drive.

And that will keep the quality the same as when I imported them?

Yes, because you are just transfering the files, not doing anything to them.
