"Photobucket has emerged as a leader in online photo and video sharing," said Mark Schindele, senior vice president, Target. “The site has an active community of more than 22 million monthly visitors in the U.S. Through this collaboration, our guests can now combine Photobucket’s creative tools with the convenience and quality they have come to expect from Target Photo.”
“Photobucket is thrilled to provide people with more easy ways to enjoy and share photos and easily get prints,” said Alex Welch, president, Photobucket. “As much as people love the convenience of going online to store and share photos and videos, there is always the need for great prints to capture special memories.” Welch continued, “Target is a world-class retail organization. We share a goal of bringing fun and convenience to our customers, and this relationship will extend that experience to photos – both online and off.”

Does anyone know "IF" I can or "HOW" I can move an entire album from one account to another new one??? I can't find this on any help pages or blogs.
What do you do if you shared an album with someone, downloaded all your own photos, and no longer "share" with that person? ...so, you create your own account but need to "move" all your photos in to the new account...
Help! Thanks, `Rhae in LA
