Give Me Some Space

Over time iPhoto gathers more and more images, occupying an increasingly large portion of your disk. When you delete photos from Albums they remain in the iPhoto Library, an attempt to protect you from disaster.

This Snippet is for users who allow iPhoto to copy their images into its Library. We’ll cover a couple nifty ways to zap photos from your disk.

If you are somewhat advanced and have iPhoto reference your photos somewhere else, this doesn’t apply to you. You can change this setting in the Preferences panel.

This Snippet also shows how to install a Scripts icon on your Menu bar. For more information on these Scripts take a gander on the Apple site. There are some interesting details, including how to assign keyboard shortcuts to these scripts.
