If I download photos from my camera or iPhone, they automatically go to iPhoto. However, if I get them emailed, I save them to documents, but don't know how to move them over to iPhoto. Probably very easy.
Also, how do I attach a photo to an email or file online from iPhoto? I was trying to post a picture to a photo album online, and cannot figure out how to make this happen.
Thank you for your help.

Or, you can also actually access any iPhoto image direct from a standard "File Open" dialog that opens on your Mac. Scroll down on the left side to "Media" then "iPhoto". You can drill down by albums, etc, and you should be able to access it that way. You may well find it's easier to drop the file from iPhoto onto the Desktop instead.

To copy the photos to iPhoto, just drag them into the iPhoto library window once it's open. (Drag them to the main Library in the left hand panel of iPhoto). Note that this copies them, it doesn't delete the originals, so you may wish to manually trash the original copies once they're in iPhoto and backed up.
iPhoto has several plugins to sharing sites built in (Flickr, Facebook), so once you set up those accounts in iPhoto preferences, you can use the Share menu to share that way. Or, to email, one way is just to drag an image, or multiple images, into a Mail message. You can then set the file size of the images in the message window to avoid sending an email that's too huge.

Thanks Matt. That did help. I guess I'm having trouble with a photo I'd like to share in a Yahoo Group. In order to do that from the group, I need to access a file. In order to get around this, I guess I could copy the photo as a file in Documents on my computer, then download it onto Yahoo Groups? Do you think that would work?
Thanks Matt! I don't do this on a regular basis, so I empty my memory from time to time! Thanks for the helping hand.
