Hello Everyone.

I want to upload my pictures to Photobucket, i have all my pictures in iPhoto, but i can't find the pictures.

In photobucket as i always do i press upload, the window pops up and i have to choose which pictures i want to upload.. I go to Pictures in the left column, but i can't choose the iPhoto Album.. Where does iPhoto save the pictures?

Ah. You're finding out about iPhoto's "clever" design. Its in the iPhoto library container folder (i.e. inaccessible, sort of). Basically meant to stop people from messing with folders that would corrupt their library of photos. Luckily there are plugins for many different photo sharing/uploading sites. Here's a link to photobucket's plugin for iPhoto Photobucket Apps | iPhoto. The hard way around would be to just export to a folder each time and upload that way otherwise.

i don't use Photo Bucket but I would think it is like most upload sites. Scroll down in the file browser to "Media" and chose "Photos", this will let you select any photo you have in iPhoto.

right click the iPhoto library file and select 'show package contents' this gives you access to your iPhoto images
