	Hi all, I scanned a load of old family pics onto my Dad's iMac G5, running iPhoto 6, and spent a while working out who everyone was, where the photos were taken etc. Now I want to copy some of the pics to my MBP running iPhoto '09. If I copy them over using iPhoto's sharing feature though they all appear as an event in May 2009, i.e. when I scanned them, and with none of the names, places etc. How do I get this info onto my Mac as well, as the info isn't embedded in the modified or original files in the iPhoto folder? Thanks for any tips, Will
