So, anyone know of any headway in the area of sharing iPhoto libraries completely? Not amongst family members, I want the entire photo library on my work mac and on my home mac. Does anyone have a solution for this, how are you managing this, if so? -- Sandman[.net]

It took me awhile to realize that keeping comments added to photos requires exporting "versions" rather than "originals", even if I haven't made any changes to the photo itself. What still wouldn't be transferred would be comments added to projects and albums containing photos from multiple projects. *"Project" in Aperture = "Event" in iPhoto. Ned

By putting the library on portable hard drive, and plugging it into whatever machine wants to use it.

Only problem is that my iMac at home does not have thunderbolt, but my laptop and work Mac has it. So basically, I would need a large capacity and really fast external (SSD?) drive that is also small in size mobile. Preferably one that supports USB as well. -- Sandman[.net]

Why in the world would you need the external to be solid state? A
complete waste of money!
And your sig. delimiter wants a space just before the
CR/Return/paragraph maker.

Indeed. The bottleneck, if any, is the USB port, NOT the drive.

I do not see how this answers my question about the "need" for an external SSD (of any size).

Sorry; I see from another post that by TB you mean Thunderbolt, not Terra Byte. Again, my interest is in why you think a SSD as an external will do much for you. Now, I also am reminded you're talking about iPhoto, a huge library. It may be that it needs to constantly access the large single file that would reside on your external HDD—and that'd justify the extra $$ for speed. I doubt that a TB-Firewire connection would be anything but fast enough.

I upgraded my internal mechanical drive to a SSD drive for this very reason, the internal iMac hard drive was too slow to adequately handle a large iPhoto library. > I doubt that a TB-Firewire connection would be anything but fast enough. Firewire isn't fast enough, but Thunderbolt is. -- Sandman[.net]
