Take care when you share your iPhoto library

By Christopher Breen, Macworld

Christopher Breen learned a valuable lesson on the recent Mac Mania IV cruise to Mexico: When it comes to sharing, treat your iPhoto library differently than your iTunes library.

"I was sitting outside the Internet Center, chatting with a fellow instructor while mucking with some photos I’d just imported into iPhoto 6. I glance over at iPhoto’s Source list and spy the shared photo library of a passenger in the vicinity (I couldn’t see them, but knew they had to be close enough for my AirPort card to pick them up). Figuring that sharing wouldn’t have been switched on if this person didn’t want their pictures viewed, I took the opportunity to peek. I found a compelling image and thought “Wouldn’t it be great it I could copy this image to my Mac just by clicking it like this and then dragging it to my iPhoto library and….”

"Whoops! The image copied to my Mac."
