Product Description:

Photo Buddy is a small Universal Mac OS X application that allows you to use more than one photo Library with Apple's iPhoto as well as with it's companion programs, iMovie and iDVD, iWeb, etc. The advantages of splitting your One Huge Photo Library into multiple, smaller ones include improved iPhoto performance, increased flexibility in organizing your digital photo collection, and a consistency with most other Mac applications that allow their respective data to be stored in as many files (documents) as you like.

iPhoto Buddy uses a simple, streamlined interface that was inspired by iPhoto itself. Anyone that has used iPhoto will immediately feel right at home using iPhoto Buddy. It truly is a companion application--a real buddy!

Also includes iPhoto Buddy Menu, a persistent Status Menu in your Mac's Menu Bar that provides instant access to each of your Libraries - even when iPhoto Buddy is not running. (Mac OS X 10.4 or later required.)

This free application worked so well for dividing up an overcrowded iPhoto Library that I donated.
It's much easier than switching libraries via the built-in Mac way. The interface is well thought out and attractive, and the users manual is extensive. It's great!

I love this app so much I donated. I just wish I could find one as easy for iTunes. My library is large and I have broken it into parts for faster access and stored the sections on different external drives. It is a seamless experience - just like I wanted it. I give it 5 stars.

Just press the option key when opening iPhoto and create or choose different libraries.
