So my photos are taking up most of my hard drive storage because of the high quality of the images. Im wondering if anyone knows how to reduce the size using an iphoto function or other??

So I need to find a way to compress all my images at once or resize them all so they wont take up as much space on my hard drive!! Please help!!

There is no such function in iPhoto. If size is an issue you can run a Library from an external disk:
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.
Regards
TD
