I am used to my huge 8mb files, so 700kb didn't seem that bad!!! But it does add up, obviously! If I am understanding you correctly, if you are saying MOVE, meaning move everything over to a managed Aperture library, I don't think that it would save any space. You will still need previews whether you reference files or let Aperture organize them. But again, I am not an expert, so there might be something a little extra file space. I did find an article over at Inside Aperture about consolidating masters. http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/digitalmedia/2007/01/26/a-hitchhikers-guide-to-aperture.html?page=4 Looks like an interesting tool, and also there is the "Manage Referenced Files" tool which could be nice if you move stuff around in error. Good luck whatever you do! Have a great Sunday, Allison Yikes, wow, that is a lot of data files, if that is nearly the same as your originals.

I'm such a control freak though. I think I could almost do it except iPhoto doesn't allow sub-folders, and my library of 39,000 photos are carefully arranged into folders and subfolders and events within subfolders, and since iPhoto doesn't support that I can't really go along with it. However, since Aperture DOES support folders and subfolders I could have found the solution. I will try to be zen with it tho just like you! Gary – I’m trying to let go just like you!

The entire REAL photo library is 48GB, and the thumbnails and previews are 28GB! I think I'll have to do a MOVE instead, this makes no sense!

Okay the Facebook plugin, why would you need a browser? Isn't it just a plugin right inside iPhoto? I am not really a Facebook user, so I don't know for sure, but I have used the Flickr plugin(s) and it only asks me to use a browser to authorize the plugin from inside my Flickr account (oh maybe that's what you mean!) 28gb of data? That is a lot! wow!! But I suppose if you break it down, and I am not sure I am doing this correctly, but that would be .71mb of data for each file. So what, is that about 700kb? Again, my math might be fuzzy, I am rushing...but that doesn't sound too bad once you break it down. I still haven't listened to your Demo show, but I am looking forward to the new show tomorrow. I keep forgetting to check you out live. But it's like 8pm my time, and that is cutting into TV time. LOL haha. I got the comment, Allison, so everything is working!
