With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to Augetc. You can open your home folder by choosing Go > Home from the Finder menu bar. However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums. You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created. Start at the bottom of your hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. Drag the file from your C: drive to the external drive. If you want to just move the file, right click the start button again, explore, now find the external drive.
