My wife and I share an iMac with separate user accounts. We'd like to move lots of photos from iPhoto in one user account to another. But after we exported original images and video from one account to a shared drive, about a third of the exported images and video failed to import into the other iPhoto account. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks.
iMac (20-inch Early 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
One way is sharing a library on an external drive with ownership ignored - iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users - Apple Support
Beyond that you need to provide details - filed to import gives one no clue as to what you did or what went wrong

Thanks. The error message I get is "Unreadable files. The following files could not be imported. The files are in an unrecognized format." It's odd, because they are all jpg's, they are all photos taken by iPhone 5's, and they all exported from one user's iTunes library in original format. So I wouldn't expect problems.
We previously shared a library but for us it might be easier to manage the family photos if we each keep the set of photos that we take in our own user libraries.
Moving many but not all iPhoto photos between users
