Hi, I've ran into a space deficit due to the space taken up by the iPhoto doubles on my computer. I went to a Mac genius bar recently to ask them about how iPhoto imports pictures and they explained to me how there is only one file when it imports directly from a picture device but when it imports from files on the hard drive this creates two files and they are both required to view the pictures in iPhoto. They said that the best way to solve this is to load the pictures back onto the camera memory card and then re-import them into iPhoto.
I tried to do this yesterday and ran into problems. I was able to get them onto the card alright but then when I tried to import into iphoto they were not recognized on the card. Its not the same camera as the one they were originally taken on (and I'm unable to acquire the camera and card they initially came from due to extenuating circumstances), is it possible that this would create a problem? The camera I am using is a Fujifilm FinePix A400 and the memory card is an Olympus xD-Picture Card with 512MB. I have 2 other cameras that I can use if this one is not adequate. I've got about 1,700 pictures that are taking up double space and it would be great if I could fix this problem. Any advice on the matter would be much appreciated
