I have a 24" 2009 IMAC with 1TB HD. I use Time Machine but would like a separate external HD to store all my photos and related plugins. My two questions are:

1. what type of HD is suggested--need 1TB
2. what software program is easiest to set up for automatic saving of new or altered images

Thanks for the help.

I'd say anything from seagate or western digital. If you use Aperture, you can then use vault feature in the application to back up your images.
 
Just a heads up on Segates....In addition to the well documented iMac issues last year, Segates continue to cause problems...Promise have stopped using them in the Pegasus range. I had a few bad sectors on one Segate in my R4, but instead of replacing the drive, Promise replaced all four with Hitachis.

Others have also reported problems with them too...Just a heads up.
