![]() I put the jpg in the Trash one more time. It's only when I choose Delete from with Photos that the directory structure within Masters disappears.īut it didn't end here. There is the jpg, even though it's not in the Photos directory structure. No longer any jpg in the Photos file structure. So from within a Finder window showing the Photos package contents and the subfolders all the way to the jpg, I Cmd+dragged the jpg out of there to the Desktop. The original was deleted from the Trash, yet still exists in the computer, at full size. Spotlight can find it and when double tapped it opens with Photos, not Preview. But no, it duplicated the image in its own file structure. I had thought for awhile that Photos essentially was acting like a pointer, pointing to the photo that resided on the Desktop. When I Get Info, I'm told it resides physically at the bottom of that directory structure in Masters within Show Package Contents and it has a 1.8 MB size. It's still there in the Show Package Contents folder structure. I put that original in the Trash and emptied the Trash. It created the normal directory structure I've mentioned but gave it a new subdirectory titled 24 (I'm not sure why it wasn't 23 for today's date) and a new sub-subdirectory. Just for grins, I re-imported that jpg into Photos. Have I mentioned how much I abhor the way Apple has decided to organize images? It's been moved to a Recently Deleted folder. The only photo I had imported is gone from the directory structure I was told holds all the images.īut! When I launch Photos, the jpg still shows.įrom the Photos app I right clicked and chose delete. Supposedly, there shouldn't be any photos now in Photos. I put the 2022 folder that was within Masters into the Trash and emptied the Trash. I could Option+drag it to an external drive and the folder structure remained. ![]() Supposedly, when I had googled, the Masters folder that can be found with Show Package Contents is where photos are stored. Clicking that flippy triangle finally revealed the photo I had created and imported. The part before the hyphen is obviously the year/month/date. Clicking that flippy triangle showed a subfolder titled 20220719-222705. Clicking that flippy triangle showed a subfolder titled 19 (the day it was imported). Clicking the flippy triangle of 2022 showed a subfolder titled 07 (the month it was imported). I clicked the flippy triangle of Masters and discovered that Photos had a subfolder titled 2022. The actual photos are kept in a subfolder titled Masters.įor the purposes of that conversation, I had to create a photo and import it into the Photos app. In Pictures, there is Photos Library.photoslibrary which when right clicked, Show Package Contents can be chosen. In a recent conversation here, I googled for where the Photos app stores its photos. I let the image renaming feature handle anything further. A folder for year, then folders for month and camera. I use Photos on my phone, but when I want to bring images from the phone to the computer, I use the import feature of Lightroom, into a folder structure much as you've described. I've studiously avoided the Mac Photos app on my computers ever since iPhoto.
