[QUOTE="mynameis, post: 243685, member: 6607"] While logged on through your account, go to your pictures directory, go to info for the iPhoto Library directory, then under 'ownership and permissions', unlock it, then select your wife's account from the Group menu, then select Read and Write under access. Next you will need to set it up so that iPhoto on your Wife's account looks to your iPhoto library, log into that account, then open a terminal and type: defaults write com.apple.iPhoto RootDirectory RootDirectory /Users/yourusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library/ Don't copy paste, you'll need to change 'yourusername' to your actual user name. edit: It looks like you kind of have things figured out, but I like my solution for iPhoto better. edit2: fixed typo, also I thought of something, it might be easier to put your 'iPhoto Library' in the shared directory, then just point both accounts to that directory for iPhoto [/QUOTE]
