Iphoto Logo If you are like me you and the rest of my family you take a lot of photos and you have a hard time keeping track of them. let this tip help you.

As you should know, you can share your images in iPhoto, but have you ever thought of setting up an iPhoto server?

Time to set up all the other Macs in your house. On them, open up iPhoto and go into the Preferences (iPhoto/Preferences). Click on "Sharing" and turn on "Look for Shared Photos".

Ready to Use:
With this setup, all you need to do when you have new photos is to add them to the iPhoto server you had just set up. Now every Mac in your house can see them, edit them, and email them around. Just think, every one in your house can have that photo of you in the speedo as their desktop image.
