How can you access folders of photographs on a remote drive (NAS) from within iPhoto without importing them?

And, assuming this can be done, I guess that a second machine running iPhoto could also access the remote folders in the same way?

Thanks
 
Don't know if this works, but...

In the iPhoto menu on the left, click preferences, then go to advanced. There is an option to turn off import photos to iphoto library. I assume this keeps your pictures on your remote drive and references them instead of copying them to the iphoto folder in the mac harddrive.

I hate iphoto! Maybe try one of the free trials of aperture or lightroom and see how you get on with it? I went for lightroom in the end and haven't looked back.

Good luck - Pete
