Sharing Photo Libraries on one computer with two accounts

I have two accounts on my Mac Mini, OS 10.7.5 and have enabled photo sharing in both. However the second account, my wife's doesn't show the photo libraries I'm trying to share. Any thoughts please

Mac Mini and G4 Powerbook, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Photo sharing works only between different computers, not for accounts on the same machine.

On the same computer you can give your wife direct access to your libraries, like described here:

iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users


Or if your Mac MIni can be upgraded to a system that supports iCloud, you can share selected albums as Shared PhotoStreams: See iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
