This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Eventually I understand why my iPhoto library is growing in size. This little app helped to clean things up, however, on my Powerbook G4 1.25Ghz iPhoto Diet runs unbelievably slow. And I only got 500 photos in the library! Also, when stopping the diet I constantly get the following error: Ã¢??AppleScriptError: Can't make item 1 of dietPaths of Ã‚Â«scriptÃ‚Â» into a Unicode text. (-1700)Ã¢??
works as anouced - good job

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />It saved 22 MB from a 350 MB iPhoto Library, and it wasn't scary at all. I'm glad it's free because I'll probably only use it once a year or so. Kudos to the developer.
Much better

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />When I start the diet, iPhoto (version 5.0.1) launches and just sits there. Nothing further happens. Dissapointing. The last version of iPhoto Diet worked very well.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Now, if the developer could only write a program that trims MY waistline as effectively. While it removed a small amount of data, iPhoto did it quickly! Thanks for the sweet treat on the price!
