I'm guessing this is a file permissions issue. Logged into the account you are as, at the moment, you may not have sufficient file privileges to do this. in Finder, right click the drive or folder that your pictures reside in and check under "Ownership and Permissions" to see if you have "Read and Write" privileges to this folder. If not, and logged in as an Administrator, you should be able to change this and try that setting again. Good Luck -- Regards Adrian PowerMac G4 Digital Audio OSX.4.2
