How to speed up a slow iPhoto library<article>

Reader Marty Schettler is unimpressed with iPhoto’s speed. He writes:</p>
I am a casual photographer who has amassed about 10,000 pictures in my iPhoto library. iPhoto now runs so slowly that it is essentially unusable (and occasionally tells me that my Library has been corrupted). I’ve heard a few people recommend switching to Aperture, adding iPhoto Library Manager, or jumping to an Adobe or Google product. I just want something where I can organize my photos by date/event and do very light editing. What do you recommend?

Given that the vast majority of us have been filmless for a decade or more, it does seem odd that iPhoto chokes on just 10,000 images. But you’re right, it can and does. Poky performance with largish libraries has been a feature of iPhoto for years and the latest edition is no exception.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2108841/how-to-speed-up-a-slow-iphoto-library.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
