Mark is right when he says: >He also made it clear "Never open the iPhoto >folder!" only bad things can happen if a file gets moved around. ;-)
iPhoto help tersely counsels: 'If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise tamper with files or folders in the iPhoto Library folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in iPhoto.' This is also true as I discovered trying to email some pix sharpened up in Photoshop. Some iPhoto had lost. My conclusion is that one should export a copy, rename it, Photoshop it, then reimport. Clearly iPhoto has a problem with images that get amended, which sounds like a database/directory problem. A wild guess is that there is a routine in place to discern between two identically named pix (Olympus cameras have a habit of resetting the numbering after a battery recharge thus duplicating the number of an existing shot). If the image size, say, varies from that which was first recorded, as it would iafter editting, that routine gets confused and is no longer able to authenticate it. However could find nothing about database rebuilds in iPhoto help.
