Exporting Photos to WalMart for printing

New to Mac. I am trying to send some photos from my new Imac to Wal Mart for printing.
However when I go to add photos, I can't find them on my computer. The photos are all there in iPhoto, but I can't find them to send to Walmart. Any ideas?

Thanks. I often print a large number of photos so sending the photos to an outside source works best for me. When you go to a site such as wal-mart, they have a program that allows you to send your photos on your computer to them (one of their local stores) and then they print off your photos.

When their program asks to import my photos, I can't find them - iPhotos doesn't come up as an option on my computer and I know that's where they are. I've looked in Library, Pictures, Applications, etc - frustrating.

How do you upload to Walmart?

Take your pick from these:

10.5 users: If you're attaching from a Web Browser or any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue: scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.

or

If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS

or

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.

1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.

2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.

3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.

This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS

If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
