Hi - I've really gotten rolling with iPhoto, and would like to archive on my external hard drive. I was thinking of just copying the iPhoto Libary folder over to the external. Is it more complicated than that? What I want to do is get rid of all these piles of photos so iPhoto is a little less cumbersome.
