iphoto_backup

Every photo deserves to live in a folder on the filesystem and not to be locked up in some cryptic and proprietary iPhoto metadata XML file.

iphoto_backup is a tool to simplify backups and archiving of your iPhoto images.

Originally implemented as a Python script

$ gem install iphoto_backup
