Quick Mac question -

I want to free up some disk space on my MacBook by moving the iPhoto library off to an external drive. 95% of the photos in that library are in the iPhoto library on the desktop Mac, so I don't need them on the MacBook. But just in case I ever want the other 5%, I don't want to simply wipe out the MacBook's iPhoto library. I want that library on the external drive, accessible by iPhoto later.

So, I plan to connect the external drive to the MacBook, drag the iPhoto library folder to the external drive, disconnect the external drive, open iPhoto on the MacBook, select/delete all the photos.

Make sense? I'm never quite sure about how iPhoto stores and organizes pictures, and am worried that I might corrupt the organization in a way that makes the pictures on the external drive unreadable by iPhoto in future.
