Eugene, thank you. Long time since I even opened IE. Okay. I found scrapbook items in Users/library/Preferences/Explorer. I tried to import into iPhoto without luck. I dragged the picture of Helen Hunt onto my desktop and still it would not open in iPhoto. So I dragged the picture into Photoshop Elements 2 and it opened very nicely. Photoshop Elements 2 is a $99 application that I think you will find far better than either iPhoto or Graphic Converter. Don't save pics into scrapbook anymore LOL.
