Referenced and Managed Libraries
================================
iPhoto and Aperture give you the option of managing your photos for you, by
placing a copy of them within the library itself, or referencing your
originals, leaving them in their original location on the filesystem.
If your library is managed, you will select "Managed Library" in the plugin
settings (this is the default).
If your library is referenced and you are running XBMC on the same machine
that you use iPhoto or Aperture, you may also select "Managed Library".
If your library is referenced and resides on a share over the network,
you need to tell the plugin how to access the originals. If on the
machine you use iPhoto or Aperture your originals are accessed via, for
instance, "/Volumes/Media/Pictures", they may not be mounted at the same point
on the machine on which you run XBMC. If this is the case, you will need to
configure the "Local root path to masters" and "Rewrite root path as"
options.

PLEASE EXPLAIN ! What does all this mean?....YES I am an idiot but the instructions are not clear.
