drag it to the desktop and see if preview can open it - if it will try importing from the desktop to iPhoto - if that still des not work do a save as in preview and resave the photos and import the new photo to iPhoto

Super Simple:

1) After logging into DropBox, open iPhoto.

2) Top of iPhoto, select "File", in file drop down, select "Import to Library" wait a second. It will open the import window.

3) Locate " DropBox "

4) Select the DropBox file you saved and would like to import.

Done.

I like your tip De Corazon, I have a similar question now. When logged into my dropbox, how do I set up dropbox to import my photos automatically?

I was thinking of setting up iphotos folder as my dropbox folder?

For your first question you need to check the Dropbox help.

You cannot have an iPhoto Library on Dropbox. It will be corrupted.
