Why Apple does not contact these folks and cut a deal to buy their app and integrate it with iPhoto mystifies me.
You can slice and dice your monster iPhoto archive and back it up much better by this gem of an application. I positively recommend this as AN ESSENTIAL APP for your Mac.
And damnit, donate to this guy.

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.

I am running Mac OS X 10.3.9, and I had a few thousand photos in a single iPhoto library. It was very slow. I found iPhoto Buddy a few months ago, and my iPhoto experience has been great since.
This program is great! - Version: 1.3.1, 2/18/2009 02:34PM PST

I have almost 2TB's of pictures that I have organized by year. iPhoto is not able to handle that magnitude of images. But iPhoto Buddy does great with it. I have my pictures organized by year. I don't know what I would do without this program. I recommend this to anyone that sees iPhoto getting slow due to large quantities of pictures. To top it all off the program is free and new updates keep coming out. how much better can it be? Writing this to thank the developers for keeping this program up to date and providing it for everyone to use.
iPhoto can do it too, or is there more? - Version: 1.3.1, 2/6/2009 09:45AM PST

So what's the difference to pressing option when opening iPhoto and creating/choosing different libraries?
I can't seem to get it to work with iPhoto '09... - Version: 1.3, 2/4/2009 06:48PM PST

I have run iPhoto buddy to access different libraries locally on an iMac and also across an 802.11n airport network for two macbooks to access the library (at different times, not concurrently).
While it takes a few seconds to load up and close on the network, it works flawlessly and is a great tool if you manage a lot of images with iPhoto.

I am still in awe, with every iP update that Apple hasn't taken up this idea. Those of you who prefer to quit iPhoto, reopen holding the option key, and then browse for your other libraries each time you want to change -- more power to you, but I much prefer to have my list of libraries in one place from which I can relaunch the iPhoto library I need in one step. I have several different categories of photos -- Family shots; Professional photography; school yearbook client website photos; stop-motion animation libraries; to name a few.
Moreover, without having to open each library, I iPhoto Buddy shows me exactly which albums, books, slideshows; how many "items" (pix & movies); which iPhoto version; etc., etc.
Don't know how I'd function without iPhoto Buddy!
Thank you for keeping it freeware. I encourage all to donate.
