Hey guys,

I am looking at my iPhoto library and I am wondering about the size of it.

When I am IN iPhoto it says I have 5,500 pictures, 300 videos, and the total is about 20.X GB.

However, in Finder, the iPhoto Library folder is 40 GB.

I am wondering whats taking up the other 20GB and how can I slim it down?

In the past, I have used iSlimPhoto from the App Store to mess around with it, which lowers the resolution of the photos to basically just viewable on screen (like 1280x800).

But if I can keep all the original photos in their original resolution and STILL cut down 50% on the library size I would love that option instead.

Any ideas on how to shrink my library?
