iSlimPhoto is an easy to use OS X app for slimming your iPhoto library to take it with you on your MacBook, without any visible loss. Keep the BIG library at home on your iMac, an external drive or a Time Capsule.
Or, if you will not need all those megapixels anymore, after using the app you can just delete your BIG library and replace it with the slim one to recover 60-90% of your disk space and improve performance significantly, especially on slow systems/big libraries.
iSlimPhoto is a handy Mac utility that creates a slim version of your BIG iPhoto library by resizing pictures from their multi-megapixel resolution down to the actual resolution of your Mac`s display.
NOTE: iSlimPhoto can only be purchased via the Mac App Store (the buy link redirects you to its App Store page). To purchase/download applications via the App Store an Apple account is required.
Here are some key features of "iSlimPhoto":
· No need for all those megapixels: Take with you only so many pixels as your MacBook may display.
· Economies of space: 60-90%: Save a lot of GBs of HDD/SSD space used by the iPhoto library.
· Perfect images, just slim library: The "Perfect" quality setting makes the slimmed photos indistinguishable on your MacBook display.
· Adjustable compression: You can select a lower quality level to save even more space (losing some image detail).
· Fast but not resource hog: iSlimPhoto makes use of all the computing power available, without interfering with your work.
· Update the slim library: After the first pass, use iSlimPhoto again to quickly sync new photos and changes from the BIG library to the slim one.
