Hi, just trying to conserve space on my iMAC and was wondering if there is a way to have my iPhoto library on an external drive instead of the the default drive?

Sure
Make sure iPhoto is not running
Mount your external HD
Then in your Finder to Home - Pictures - iPhoto Library.
Drag the iPhoto Library to the external drive.
Once the library has moved, hold down the Option key and restart iPhoto. It will aske you whether you want to create a Library or Choose one.

Select to Choose a library. Navigate to the Library's new location on the external drive.
