Fix iPhoto Error: “Selected Photos Can’t Be Used for Albums or Slideshows” #3671653 (License: Personal Use)

The image shows a macOS iPhoto dialog box explaining that photos downloaded from published albums are read-only and cannot be directly added to new albums, projects, or slideshows. To resolve this, users must re-import the images into their local photo library. The interface features a camera icon with a palm-tree sunset thumbnail and a standard “OK” button.

This screenshot is typically used in troubleshooting guides for older macOS versions (e.g., OS X Lion through Yosemite) where iPhoto was the default photo management app. It addresses user intent to repurpose published photos in new creative projects, clarifying the need for local import.
