Over time, if left unchecked, you can accrue a very bloated iPhoto library. enhanced, rotated, etc.) iPhoto keeps a copy of both the original and the enhanced / rotated photo. Every time a file is altered or modified (i.e. One of the neatest features of CleanMyMac 2 is that it cleans up your iPhoto library.
