Q: Why is my iphoto library grayed out when I browse for pictures to upload on ebay?

I just started selling on ebay.  When I hit the browse button to get the pics I took of the item, iphoto is lightened and not available to click on.  I have to drag every photo onto my desktop beforehand so I can access them.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)

    It is trivially simple - IF YOU do it correctly

     

    You access photos for upload using the media browser - on the left of the upload window under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto - as well documented in this forum and in these forums

     

    see the use tip on accessing your files for a complete discussion of this

    You seem to confuse "easily" with "the way I expect".

     

    For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

    Been using iOS since around 2006,

    How does the iPhone operating system relate to this topic and problem?

    You need to have a photo or album highlighted / selected / open, then hit file - export.


    I was very frustrated by this for a bit.  I was also able to get into the library by selecting file - reveal in finder - original file, then was able to drag and drop the masters folder to a backup disk.

    Bad idea - going into the iPhoto library directly is NOT supported and is very dangerous - you should only use the supported access methods - either export or the media browser - How to Access Files in iPhoto

     

    and as to exporting - obviously you can not export a photo until you first select it - clearly you need to select the photo(s) and then you export them - not possible to do it in reverse
