iphoto to msn msgr

I just tried to a fairly regular thing for me, send an msn contact a few photos, in a conversatin window,

not a problem normally, but i was on the wifes macbook.........

clicked 'send file' and it opened up a finder window, but i click on iphoto and it wont let me in,
why cant i send a photo from iphoto?

thats where the photos go from the camera

iPhoto stores its photos in a very complex file structure that you aren't supposed to go digging around in... and because MSN doesn't have an iPhoto photo browser, what you need to do is open up iPhoto and drag the photos you want to send somewhere onto your harddrive.. like the desktop. Then select those copies to send on MSN. Once they're sent you can delete them. Another way to do it is to drag photos straight from iPhoto to the conversation window
