How to Autosplit an Event in iPhoto Library?

Last Updated :

iPhoto allows you to split one or more Events into smaller Events based on the date and time the photos were taken.

To do so, open "iPhoto" on your Mac and set the Event time frame in iPhoto preferences. Select the Event and choose "Events" option and then select "Autosplit Selected Events" option. The Event you selected is split into smaller Events based on the new time frame you set.

You can also select more than one Event to autosplit. To do it, drag your pointer to enclose two or more Events which are located next to one another. If you want to select the Events which are not adjacent, then click the first Event to select it and then hold down the Command key as you click additional Events.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
