I have a relative who isn't very computer savvy who I'm trying to help with a problem. They have an iMac and a MacBook Pro, he and his wife have an account on each. He has the "main" iPhoto library on his account on the iMac, and wants to be able to copy certain photos over to his wife's account on the MacBook. I've shown them how to move files around, via the dropbox, but permissions keep getting in the way (once a photo is copied, it won't let his wife mess with it until I change permissions for her). The whole process is extremely convoluted for a tech-illiterate. Does anyone have any ideas on how to share an iPhoto library (or at least some specific photos) without permissions getting in the way?

Share the iPhoto library in the iPhoto preferences. The other user can drag/drop at will to add to their library. It's much easier than iTunes (before Home Sharing).
