Photos file is greyed out. Can't upload photos from "Choose files to upload".

From a website, I tried to upload a photo from my Photos app to it.. The Photos file in my Pictures folder is the only one greyed out. Checked to see what name of photo library was listed in my Mac as the system photo library: The one listed is named Photos Library (System Photo Library). I also tried to access my photos from Media Photos. Did not work. I have Catalina OS.

TonyCollinet,


In desperation I dragged & dropped the photo onto my desktop. (I'm posting to sell something.) Then went to the website & d&d the photo into the little white square where the photo would be if I had uploaded it by the method you showed. It worked! I still don't know why the photo didn't upload by the "correct method." But thank you for your help because it got me to try different & creative (?) approaches.
