This is great, thanks!!! have been searching for this on the web, am surprised nobody else pointed this out. My remaining question is: does iPhoto then actually download and keep the physical files of the pictures from web album; or does it just save the links or something? So if I download the pictures now, will I be able to add them to my events and then look at them later without internet connection? thanks!

I did come up with a perl script that does this too. That was back in 2008 but it still works now with iPhoto’09.

If you follow these steps exactly, in iPhoto you will see reduced sized images (1600 pixel wide – approx 2 megapixel) and for large albums you may not get all pictures. If you want the original (> 2MP) sized images and all of them, you can follow these instructions but in step 5, add this to the end of the URL you just pasted:
&imgmax=d&max-results=10000
