Duplicating Sources
Anything you can create in the Source pane—be it an album, smart album, a card, a slideshow, a calendar, or a folder—you can duplicate. Duplicating isn't something you'll use every day, but it can be useful.
Ways to duplicate a source:
-click an item in the Source pane and choose Duplicate from the contextual menu that appears (Figure 3.24).
Figure 3.24 To duplicate a source, Control-click it and choose Duplicate from the contextual menu.
-
Select an item in the Source pane, and then choose Duplicate from the Photos menu (
).iPhoto duplicates the album, appending "2" to its name (Figure 3.25).

Reasons to duplicate sources:
- If you're making picture books for two sets of grandparents, for instance, you might want to use a very similar set of photos with different text. Lay out one book, then duplicate it to eliminate the effort of arranging photos again.
- If you want make differently themed books or calendars with the same set of images, create one, then duplicate it and change the theme of the duplicate.
- If you've put quite a lot of work into a book, calendar, or slideshow, and you want to try something without potentially messing up your work, make a duplicate first.
- If you've constructed a complex smart album and want to make another that's only slightly different, duplicating the first one and modifying the duplicate is easier than making a new one.
