How to: Find original photo files in iPhoto
January 8th, 2009
If you use iPhoto on your Mac (ok you use it, because it is the most commonly used application in iLife suite and comes pre-installed with any new Mac), you’ve noticed that iPhoto keeps all your photos in a file called iPhoto library. The point is that iPhoto library is a package, not a single file. To view its contents and find your original photo files:
- Left-click (or ctrl+click) the iPhoto library file which is in your user>pictures folder, select show package contents and
- Navigate to “originals” folder and that’s it! You can now view, edit, move or delete your original photo files!
