Locate picture files

Realize this is very basic, but am new ti iMac environment after decades of PC use.
Imported picture files from a CD which I am able to view in iPhoto, but I can't find the files lsted in a Finder window of the Macintosh HD.  I have looked in Pictures folder and in the Pictures folder under my username with no luck.  How do I find them so that I can delete, etc.?
Thanks for any help.

You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits you make in Photoshop will show up in iPhoto.
Perhaps posting your email address on an internet forum is not such a good idea.

    Thank you for your fast response ! I have a 2 TB Time Capsule as well. Maybe I will be moving the images to the Time Capsule and give it a try creating
    a new catalogue from that. All kind of files worked very well on all Mac OS X and still do except images. So it doesn't seem to be a Mac OS X / NAS thing
    generally. Looks more that LR 5 doesn't like the NAS especially when we take into consideration that the files work perfectly on my MacBook AIR that has
    access to the NAS, too but without LR 5.

  • Location picture files in finder

    Learned how to see these files in finder.  Can't recall the trick the genius did to show these files.  A senior moment I guess.  Thanks in advance for the help.

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Photo Booth Pictures File Location?

    Upgraded to Mavericks and I can't find any of the picture files from Photo Booth. Previously they were in User/Pictures/PhotoBooth
    But now that folder is empty.
    If I open up "Photo Booth Library" I can see the pictures within photobooth. But not the file location. Also, some of my photos

    If you'd like to be able to access the photos in any way other than just in FINDER, ie: to upload them on webforms, and other apps, then you can do this
    open Terminal
    type:
    cd Pictures
    ln -s Photo\ Booth\ Library/Pictures/ PhotoBoothPics
    this will create a folder called PhotoBoothPics  that is a link to the photobooth library, and is accessible to attach to email, etc, and will always have all your pics

  • How do I locate non picture files and location? I'm getting low memory and can't find word,PDF etc

    how do I locate non picture files and location? I'm getting low memory and can't find word,PDF etc

    iPads don't have a filesystem like a computer, Files of that nature must be associated with an App and reside inside that particular App's file space.  So the way to find them is to open the App that opens that file type and look in its file or document list for them.

  • I cant locate a file a had filled with pictures think i may have deleted is their anyway to recover it

    i cant locate a file a had filled with pictures think i may have deleted is their anyway to recover it

    Hi t,
    First, don't create or change any files. The more you do, the less chance you have of recovering any data. Google for Mac data recovery applications. There are several. At least one allows you to use it to see if you can recover data, without paying for it. If you decide to recover it, then you have to pay for the app in order for it to do the recovery.

  • Aperture won't locate referenced files

    I get I dialoge box that says there are no referenced files associated with this picure but I spotlight finds it in a split second. Half of my pictures look blank after importing my Apeture library into my new iMac. Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

    Half of my pictures look blank after importing my Apeture library into my new iMac.
    How did you transfer your Aperture library to your new mac? From a TM backup? Did you copy it?
    I get I dialoge box that says there are no referenced files associated with this picure but I spotlight finds it in a split second.
    When do you see this message? Are you trying to reconnect the versions to the original files with the "Locate Referenced Files" dialog?
    but I spotlight finds it in a split second.
    Where does Spotlight find the originals? Inside the Aperture library or in a folder outside?
    Please explain more.

  • How can I make Elements 9 my default to open picture files with?

    After using Elements 12 for a months trial and then uninstalling it, I can no longer find Elements 9 listed when I right click on a picture file and select "open with".  How can I restore it to my list of programs with which I can open the file.  I'm using Windows 8 which list aps and some other programs but not Elements 9.

    When you choose "Open With" migrate to the folder of PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe location and choose .exe to open images with . The photoshopelementseditor.exe is present at location "C:/Program Files (x 86)/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 9/PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe.

  • Documents (picture files) in Recent Items issues

    My machine is a 2009 MacBook Air with Lion (10.7.3) and I just noticed recently that I can still open the JPG files in Recent Items even though I have already deleted those JPG files.  (When I click on the file name from Recent Items menu, Preview still opens the JPG file)
    Does this have to do with Lion's Auto Save & Versions?  I have tried to search for the file, but I can't find where the file location is.  Is there a way to delete pictures completely?
    I have searched for solutions, but I couldn't find answers directly to my issue.  Can anyone help me out?  Thanks in advance!

    Thank you so much for the help!
    Going by your solution, I was able to find the file location.
    I found out it's not because of the Auto Save & Versions, it is actually because of Messages (iMessage).  I received these pictures on my Messages and I guess the app automatically saves the pictures in the Messages folder when you receive picture files.

  • Relinked picture files not updating

    Hi all,
    To begin with, I am using final cut pro 10.0.8 on mountain lion 10.8.4.
    The problem I'm having is that my media files are not updating in final cut pro x once they have been changed outside final cut pro. I'll explain what I'm doing:
    1. I have imported some png files into my events and chose not to copy to my events folder. These picture files are used extensively in my project.
    2. I have found that I need to make some changes to the png files. After making the changes in photoshop (the original file is psd and I save to png), final cut pro does not automatically update the new details even though when I click the event and choose reveal in finder, it takes me to the newly saved file that does have the changes. The file name and location did not change.
    3. I then tried to manually relink the files, but it still does not update the new changes. What is interesting is that the info on the picture still refers back to the orginal details when the file was created. Again if I choose reveal in finder, it highlights the newly saved png.
    4. I then decided to delete the original png file and empty the trash can. Final cut shows that the media is missing. I saved the png from photoshop again and final cut pro automatically relinked the file, but it is still the old image!
    5. As a last resort, I trashed the original image again, resaved the png with a different name, relinked again. This time final cut updates the date it was created, but the image is still the old image!
    No matter what I try to do, I can't get final cut pro to update the image. I dropped the png into the timeline and did and export hoping it was just displying the original image but would use the new image when it renders. Unfortunately, the movie it created had the old image still.
    Obviously the image the event is pointing to is not the one it is using because I have double checked that the file saved has been updated outside of final cut.  Is there something I am doing wrong? Or is there a bug with final cut pro? I'm suspecting it is using a chached file somewhere.
    Thanks for your help,
    Adrian

    Tom, I followed your suggestion and final cut updated the png in the event viewer the first time, but refused to update any further changes I made. So I deleted the entire event, created a new one, and imported a new picture with different name, and could not get it to update again.
    What is crazy is when I right-click on it in the event viewer and choose Reveal in Finder, finder shows the updates I made.
    Now obviously this would not be suitable in my case, as I can't edit the png file since it has been flattened. I need to work on the photoshop file and then save over th png file. Surely I should be able to save over my png file (when I save as from photoshop) and final cut should see the changes.
    Rgarding your question, the pictures I have are different angles of an office scene which will be my background for me green screen shots. I had to tweek a few parts of it and only then found that final cut didn't want to update them. Now that I have this problem, I don't want to continue any further until this is sorted out incase I have to make more changes.
    I've only had this new computer for 8 days, so final cut has not been installed for long. But since no one else is having this proble, I'll trash final cut and download it again. Hopefully that will solve the problem.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 - problems with locating photo files

    I have saved my photos and my catalog on a removable hard drive.  When my laptop's techical support had to unexpectedly replace my laptop's hard drive, it meant I had to reinstall Photoshop Elements 9, which we have done.  For some reason, the My Catalog on the removable hard drive was showing that it was created in Photoshop elements 6 which was surprising since I know that I had used it in Photoshop Elements 9.  I went ahead and converted My Catalog.  It now shows the key tags,star ratings, and captions, etc.  Everything except the basic picture.  It is not looking for the files on the removable hard drive.  What can I do to get it to look at the removable drive where they are stored with a matching file name in the appropriate subdirectories?  The properties of the pictures seem to be showing the photos as being at various other locations that no longer exist!  What do I do?  I do not relish having to reimport, re-caption, re-edit, etc., etc. for hundreds of pictures.  Photoshop's catalog sensitivity is really frustrating.  I am about ready to go to another product.  If I have to re-construct everything again, it will be my second re-construction of a PS catalog.  And I will strongly consider a much more forgivng product.

    Suggest that you make your own collage, esp. since time is running out. Do the math and determine the size that each of the 5 pictures should be, leave enough room to add text.
    Crop each picture to the appropriate size.
    Go to File>new>blank file, enter height and width of your document, background white, resolution 300px/in. The resolution of the pictures should be the same.. However, resolution 240-300px/in is probably ok for printing
    Open the 5 picture files. Access pict. #1, go to Edit>copy, open the blank file created in step #3, then go to Edit>paste
    Repeat for the other pictures. Each will on on its own layer. Use the move tool to position, and resize with the corner handles if necessary.
    Using the type tool add text.
    TIP: Open the grid to help you to position the pictures. The grid can be configured via Edit>Preferences>Guides and grid. You may want to check "snap to grid" under View>snap to grid

  • Picture files- Unable to open

    I have pictures files with a date of- 12/31/1969
    When I click on them I get "Unable to display file/media card/Blackberry/videos"
    When I try to delete, it says the files are read only. They seem to be duplicates.

    Hi,
    Have you tried opening these files on your PC? Connect the BlackBerry smartphone to your PC and then go to Computer. Now locate the BlackBerry drive and navigate to BlackBerry/Photos or Videos. Try opening the files from here.  If it does not work you might need to format your media card this will mean you will loose all the data on the media card. You can format the card by going to Options-Memory-Press the menu key and select format.
    Thank you

  • Finding Picture Files On The Macbook

    I'm new to the Macbook and I'm unsure as to how I can go about attempting to locate where an image is stored on my system. When I go into the change desktop area I see an image displayed but I cannot seem to find where it is located on my hard drive. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    You can manually find picture files by searching using the term .jpg, .tif, or .gif. These are the most common types of picture files. Do this by going to Finder, then File > Find (apple + F). You can delete the files right from the resulting window.
    You can also open the Find window and search for all images. Searching for images is one of the options that you can use; this option is in the box that says Any (the top right of the four boxes under the areas that you can search). Select Any > Images. This allows you to search for all images on your computer.
    If you use spotlight for this search, you'll only be able to open the files.

  • I lost all my picture file connections

    I lost all my picture file connections in Photoshop Elements 11. Have tried reconnect and managage catalogs/repair etc with no luck. I believe that updateing OS to Windows 8.1 has something to do with this. What should I do now?

    There's a lot of information here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4624628
    Also, please give us some details ... when you did the update to Windows 8.1, did the photos stay in the EXACT SAME location, or were they moved somehow?
    What did you try to reconnect? What happened when you tried?
