How to export Photomyne photos to shared album
For anyone who scanned old prints in Photomyne and wants those files inside a Shared Album family can open.

Every scan must sit in your Photos library first. Shared Album can only show what the library already holds.
Have Photomyne open on your finished scans, iCloud Photos turned on under Settings, and the Shared Album title ready.
You are ready when every scan shows a sharp still thumbnail with no spinning wheel. If the grid is blank, finish the scan session first, then return to this screen.
A solid check on the corner means that frame is chosen. Tap the same thumbnail once more to clear a wrong pick before you continue.
The iOS share sheet slides up from the bottom. If Save Image is not in the first row, swipe the icon row sideways until that label appears.
A short toast or progress bar confirms the write to the library. Wait until that toast disappears so the files finish before you leave Photomyne.
Shared Albums appears in its own block on the Albums screen. You are in the right place when you see New Shared Album or the titles you already share.
The album opens to its photo grid with the title fixed at the top. Read that title once to confirm it matches the album your family expects.
Pick the new frames from Recents, then press Done or Add. Fresh thumbnails appear in the Shared Album grid when the upload begins.
The most common mistake
Adding pictures before the Photomyne save toast clears leaves the Shared Album empty. Wait for the toast to vanish, open Recents, pull down to refresh, then add.
