I'm not sure what method you're using. When I want to upload a picture from Photos to a web site in Safari ,I click on the site's Upload button, and I see this:


In the Media Picker at the bottom of the sidebar I choose Photos, and I can see my Library. I can scan through them to choose the picture I want, or I can use the Search Field to search for a date or location or object or person or keyword or whatever to help me find the one I need.


Are you saying all of these pictures in this process are grayed out? Or a few are? If it's a few, what do they have in common?
