iPhoto capacity in gigabytes
I know that iPhoto can hold 'up to' 250000 photos, but what would that translate into gigabytes? We have an iPhoto database of 45000 photos weighing in at 270GB. In the last few weeks, although iPhoto opened, it refused to show the photos and had to be force quit - we've then had to rebuild the database from an 'automatic' backup (using Command + Option on starting iPhoto). The photos are mainly jpegs with a few TIFF files (16bit) thrown in.
iPhoto 8.1, OS X Leopard (10.5.8), Mac Pro.
Cheers!
