I’ve been using iPhoto using the ‘Copy Photos to iPhoto’ option uncheck and managing my pictures in Finder. Now, I’d like to let iPhoto handle all my pictures, if I now check this option, will it copy all my photos stored outside of iPhoto to the ‘originals’ folder within iPhoto?

Thanks

Yes you can. I just tried this with a folder of my desktop pictures and it is safe. Under File is Import to Library. Point it at your current file and it will import them to iPhoto.
