Sorry but thats not very easy
Authored by: osxpounder on May 11, '06 12:36:41PM

Of the many, many problems I have with iPhoto, one of the biggest is that it's slower'n molasses in January. Another huge problem, a dealbreaker, really, is that every new version seems to require that you convert your photo album, such that it can't be opened by an earlier version of iPhoto. That's what keeps you from rolling your Mom's Mac back to a version of iPhoto that actually suits her needs.

They are just image files -- there's no need to tie them up in some proprietary database, but that's what iPhoto does. Now if you want them back, you either use this crummy, slow, program that's inconsistent from version to version -- or you browse many, many levels of folders.

I prefer to tag my images with Spotlight comments now. The only reason iPhoto opens on my Mac is to get pics from the camera.
