Changing iPhoto Library location

I recently bought a MacBook. I then started to copy my photos onto it and realized that if I imported all my photos over, it would take up considerable space (23.5 GB) for the originals itself. The reason I wanted my photos was so I could edit them and try out some enhancement techniques.

Then I decided to move my photo library to a 100 GB external hard drive. But wait, there is no option to move the iPhoto library to a new location.

Stumbled across this article. Very helpful and simple.
Just copy over the original library from /Users/<...>/Pictures to the new location and then delete the default library.

When you launch iPhoto again, it will give you an option to create a new library or choose an existing one.

Enjoy...
