why bother?

iPhoto 4 is Rendezvous enabled. I can see any library of any machine on my home newtork in the Album list once I launch iPhoto. Maybe the symbolic link does more?

1) he is trying to share a set of photos on the SAME computer between two users, not between two different computers
2) he wants to be able to edit the photos not just look at them

Actually, Rendezvous sharing works across accounts on the same computer, too. And, since you can copy images from shared folders to your local folder, you can edit them as well. This isn't ideal for everyone, since (1) it requires that iPhoto be up and running in both the "source" account (the one with the main library) and the current user's account; and (2) it's a bit of an effort to get the edited image back into the original library.

But, all in all, it's a potentially workable solution for some (including me)... hardly worthy of a "duh".

Thanks for the added info. In addition, most of us after editing a photo might want to let other users make their own changes.....this seems to be the way to go for probably most of us.....not withstanding the ..."duh" ....from the imbecile above
