how do i delete a picture from iphoto

I use Lightroom but I just bought an iMac and have been looking at iPhoto.

Great tutorial. Only problem I had with it was I could not see the splitting events and Merging event buttons on your video. All in all it was very helpful I was dragging photos the the left title bar and dropping them. I also was creating a new album each time. This information will really speed up my editing.

is it possible to import a photo onto of an existing one?

[racsito39]

I just started using iPhoto to organize over two thousands of photo stored on my memory stick, to start, I copied all the fles to my home/pictures folder and had iPhoto import them all, I discovered that I got a lot of duplicated files, I mean, I have those photos for over 2 years now, and was constantly backing up them and probably generated some automated duplicates (with _2 and the end of the file name).

How can I safely remove permanently the duplicates without messing up my library?

When you import photos in iPhoto, where are they stored?

[TheStudentHouse]

@jawofthedog they are stored in your Homefolder/Pictures/iPhoto Library. But you're best not to go rooting around in there. If you want a picture highlight it in iPhoto then choose File/Export

but iphoto doesn't open for me automatically.....what do i do?

[TheStudentHouse]

@xotorixo27 open iPhoto. Go to iPhoto menu>Preferences. Under 'Connecting Camera Opens' make sure iPhoto is selected
