Restoring iPhoto Library after SL Clean Install

[T3hPreacher]

I'm getting ready to install Snow Leopard on my computer, and I'm preparing for the contingency of a clean install. Before I go ahead with that, though, I want to make sure I'll be able to restore my iPhoto library. Would it be as simple as cleaning out the "Photos" folder on the freshly installed OS and then moving in the contents of my old "Photos" folder from backup? Would that cause iPhoto to recognize those photos?

Make sure you have a backup of the entire iPhoto Library, not just the photos, then do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229
