I need to empty my iphoto files as there is too much memory being taken up.
No, iPhoto files take up disk space, not memory. So if you think you're going to save memory be getting rid of them, you need to reconsider that idea.
You can move your entire iPhoto Library to an external drive and import new photos into it on that drive, so if that's what you want to do, these are the steps:
1. Format the external drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
2. Quit iPhoto
3. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
4. Hold down the option key while launching iPhoto. From the menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on itl be the default location of your library.
5. Test the new library destination and when you're sure everything is as it should be, delete it on your Macintosh HD.

I am using iPhoto to edit my pictures from my Canon 60d. As I edit the photos, I send them by email within iPhoto (using the Large setting) to several members of my family. Last night I sent about 20 different pictures with different descriptive titles in the email to multiple people. However, when they view them in their email on their iPhones, it is showing the first picture over and over again, no matter what the title of the email says the photo is. It is even stretching the picture to either landscape or portrait depending on the view of the different pics in each email themselves but is still showing the same pic no matter the orientation.
I need to figure out if this is a bug with iPhoto and iPhone or if I need to do something different. You would think if you choose an image and email it, it would be THAT image. It only began within the last two weeks or so but it has been consistent when emailing multiple single photos. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!Greetings,
I've seen this issue myself between iPhoto and an iOS device. It appears to be an issue with the how the iOS device sees the email templates used by iPhoto '11's built in email feature.
Suggestions:
Let Apple know you have this issue: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
Go to iPhoto > Preferences > General > Email photos using > MailThis will bypass the email templates and send your images directly from the Apple Mail program. You won't have the pretty templates, but the images will come through (which is the important part in my opinion).
Keep your software up to date on your computer and on your iOS devices. (If / when a fix comes, that's how you'll get it.)
Cheers. -

Specifically from?
You export them: File -> Export
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Or if you want to, you can keep the images in iPhoto and move the Library to an external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Not using the correct structure. Camera's use a very exact structure and the only way the camera will see photos on the card is for them to be in that exact structure

How can I import photos from iPhoto-library to edit in Photoshop CC? - and save it back to the iPhoto-library?
How to access iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired. -
