Save drive space by removing iPhoto originals
None of the above-mentioned hints work for iPhoto 6.
So I put together this set of commands, and it worked for me (saved 3Gb, sweet!): cd ~/"Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/"
find . -type f -exec rm -r "../Originals/{}" \;
Basically, if a picture exists in the Modified folder, then there must be a backup of it in the Originals folder. Thus, for each picture in the Modified folder, this script will erase only its corresponding Original. NOTE: iPhoto still thinks these images have "backup" Originals, and will still present you with the option to "Revert to Original." Not to worry, if you try to revert to an original which has been erased by this technique, nothing happens. NOTE 2: You may see a bunch of "No such file or directory" errors. That's OK - when you import a movie, a generated thumbnail also gets thrown into the Modified folder. The error comes because it thinks this generated thumbnail has an original image, but it doesn't. Furthermore, the movie is untouched. Hope this helps, |
