You can put your iPhoto library on an external drive.
What you are referring to is non-destructive editing -- no matter how much your crop, color or tweak a photo in iPhoto -- it will always save the original file for you. So the only way for iPhoto to "take up a ton of space" is that if you modify all of your photos after importing. Then you will have 2 versions of every photo.
