Fozzieb Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hi there, I have a bunch of folders on cd that contain all my pictures from my pc before i switched to a mac, I copied them to the pictures folder under my account on the mac. My question is should iPhot see these folders and contents or do i have to import them? If i import them to iPhoto does it just point to the folders on the drive or does it copy them to the library?

Southern Patriot Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Yes you need to import them, and yes, iPhoto will copy them to it's library. After that, you can delete the originals. You could also import them directly from the original CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
