iPhoto Library Question

[akpatterson]

I am now organizing my supplies in an iPhoto library. What is the easiest way to switch between different libraries? I close it out and then open it with the option key pressed down. Is there an easier way to switch between my photos and my supplies??? Thanks!

I don't believe so but I'd be glad to hear of one. I have the same two libraries and it can be a pita.

iPhoto Library Manager is a program that manages your ... well... iPhoto Libraries. But you still have to relaunch iPhoto every time you want to switch libraries. You can find it at Fat Cat Software - iPhoto Library Manager

There is one free version, and one paid version. I never got the paid version - the free version works well too. But the paid one has some advanced features.

Thank you, Heidi. I will check that out this week. ~Amy

I have pse and use bridge to get to my photos. I usually pull the photos to my desktop, {if I pull alot of photos, then I put them in a file labeled pse photos} launch bridge through pse, click desktop, find my photos, click the first one and then hold down the apple key and click the rest that I want.. Then file, open with and pse.

I can also access iphoto through bridge by clicking the house with my name next to it in the left side panel then find iphoto but it opens another window like when you access it from the dock.

I also have all my digi supplies in a folder on my desktop, with subfolders titled by store or designer and a preview of each single kit on the file. The ones that have more than one kit from a designer, I just put into one file, pick the kit preview I like the best and place that on the designers file. I then add the amount of kits in the title area with the designers name first. This I ascess through pse/bridge. And I've pulled my favorites that I use alot into the sidebar and just click from there. Like I have digisupplies, masks, frames, stitches, templetes, text paths, wordart, etc. I also have my favorite designers like DesignerDigitals there for easy access.
