I can't find my imported photos

Hello

I use only my iMac for about six months, but during this period have added several thousand photographs taken on a number of camera; These were imported by using the Photo app.

Be familiar with Windows I though I could find the files in a directory called 'Images' or similar when it wants to view and open in Photoshop Elements and back up to DVD but can not find the files on my disk.

Help, please!

When you import pictures to Photos, you must use the Photos.app to access.  The photos will be managed in the photo library.  The Finder only will show you the photo library as a package, not the files inside. It's very different from Picasa or other applications, which comes to reference files in the Finder. But long term, it is much more convenient, because we don't are not obliged to keep track of our pictures and edited versions. Photos done this for us.

  • Launch pictures to browse the albums and the Moments within the library,
  • and if you want to access pictures from other applications, use the media browser or select the photos and use file > export to create a copy outside the library of Photos.
  • If you want to use other programs to edit photos, use Photo editing extensions, see: Photo retouching for Photos for Mac Extensions

    where can I find all my photos that were stored on photoshop 10?

    your photos have probably saved in photoshop but not in photoshop. Photoshop is the name of a program from adobe.  It stores any image files.

    but the question is not where your images were saved from, but they were in this directory/file saved.

    to find the directory/folder where you saved your image files, open PES 10, click on file and click on save as...

    a panel of Tacker system opens and which will show you where your image files are saved.

    Alternatively, you can search for your image files by using the search function of your operating system (windows in os win Explorer) and the mac os finder.

    If your find this confusing info, ask someone as computer help you.  This is a pretty basic business that doesn't require significant computer skills.

  • My list of "Favorite" of Internet Explorer bookmarks disappeared; I can not find them - 'import of IE' that appear an out-of-date list of favorites... How to find

    I tried all the options under all items 'Help' to find my missing Favorites ("Favorites") from IE, and nothing has worked. When I tried 'Import of IE', he loaded a list of Favorites at least a year. I can't find the current bookmarks that are stored in the folder "From Internet Explorer". When I click on the Favorites (Star) icon in the upper right corner, the menu no longer displays the option to select "from Internet Explorer". The only thing I have not tried is the "Restore" option available in the "library" under "Import and backup" window: I don't know which of the files listed is correct, and the instructions careful that whatever files are chosen now will replace the previous file. I don't want to accidentally erase all my stored Favorites (hundreds of them) and end up with only the bookmarks I saved just recently - I don't want to end up with a set of (old) Favorites obsolete.

    You can find the entry menu import into the Manager of bookmarks (library)

    If you can't find the IE Favorites in the folder ("Internet Explorer") or have problems with import favorites IE in Firefox, then export favorites in Internet Explorer to a HTML file and import this file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

    This way also preserve you a sort that you did with the Favorites in Internet Explorer and the Favorites don't end up in a folder "from Internet Explorer", but will be added at the end of the file Menu bookmarks.

    If you don't have the menu bar in Internet Explorer, and then right-click on the toolbar above to activate the menu bar.

    • Export Favorites in Internet Explorer to a file (bookmarks.html) HTML: file > import and export
    • Import the HTML file in Firefox: bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > import HTML: from a file

  • How can I use iPhoto importing photos from card reader?

    Aloha all, I really prefer to use iPhoto, or opening when importing photos from card, but Photos opens whenever I put in my camera card. In the preferences of the Photo, the choice to select what app to use when importing is gray. How can I make iPhoto, or even simply to capture Image open rather than Photos? I put iPhoto preferences to do this, but it seems pictures somehow overrides it. Tips, tips out there? Mahalo

    Try to set the default application to open the General preferences in iPhoto window:

    Do you know that iPhoto is no longer supported by Apple print shops so that all projects must be created and controls through Photos?  Just a heads-up.

    If the above does not work, you can kill all apps to open when a camera is connected with the following command in the Terminal application, posted by JadedEye:

    Re: Prevent DEFINITELY the Photos to open automatically

    in response to leonie

    OK, it worked for me on El Cap

    Open a terminal window

    Type the following in the terminal and press enter

    defaults write currentHost - com.apple.ImageCapture disableHotPlug - bool YES

    (followed by the return key or enter - ed)

    The exit of the terminal.

    Photos will run if you run, but it will not autolaunch on each connection to a camera or the card or reformatted the card.

    If you want to return Photos auto-launch almost everything, use the same command change YES no

    This correction has set my workflow back to normal without Photos of gd lance all the time.

    You must then manually run the application that you want to use with the memory card or camera.

  • Where can I find my original photo after editing to the organizer and the saiving it

    I am brand new to photoshop elements.  I edited a photo in the editor and saved with a different name.  Now, I can't find the original image.  What happened to him?

    When you work in the Organizer in PSE13, by default you will see a display of thumbnails where each thumbnail is enlarged without text, name of file or details.

    It is a new view in version 13. You can switch the display mode to the old vision "detailed", where the tile is smaller, but indicated with the file name and details if you have enabled this option in the menu "view". To move, use the view menu or the shortcut Ctrl D.

    When you have edited a photo of the Organizer, the new image you created is linked to the original, they are in a "set" version Only the most recent version is displayed by default. When you have switched to the 'detailed view', there is a small triangle on the right of the thumbnail. Click on it, and all versions will be displayed next.

    Is that what you want?

    If you have created a set of version, a small icon should appear on the top of the page thumbnail even country in no detailed view.

    The letter came to my Inbox to eighteen months ago, I must have deleted, I can't find a copy in the trash, letter to legal content inportant. I hope you can help. P.S. I have a donation to Mozilla. Thanks Anthony

    It's the Thunderbird support forum. Most of the people here is volunteers devoting their time to help others.

    you will have a record of it?

    I don't know exactly what you meant when asking this question.
    Mozilla is not a provider of e-mail and does not keep any of your messages. If so, you will need to check with your e-mail provider, assuming that you store messages on the server in the first place.
    The most likely scenario is that your messages are all on your computer. So if you can't find the message you think you deleted anyway I would say that the chances are pretty slim to retrieve.

  • my computer can't find all my photos from my phone when I try to import

    I have an iphone 6, I got an iphone 4S & I imported all my photos and contacts ect. to my iphone 6. After the transition to my iphone 6, pictures on my phone had to load whenever I tried to display their & if I was not connected to wifi that they wouldn't load even if I had LTE service. Recently, I tried several times to download my pictures from my phone on my Toshiba laptop. As usual I plug my phone to my computer using the USB cord and a screen will appear then asks if I want to import my photos and it gives me an opportunity to do with windows live photo gallery and other things. I chose windows live photo gallery. My computer and the phone through the process of finding my photos but it found only a small amount of my photos. I have 900 photos and he finds only 8 of my most recent. I think that it is because these recent pictures are loaded. But I don't know how to do all the 900 pictures load and import. I also think it may have something to do with my storage.

    Greetings Lily1616,

    From what I understand, your iPhone is not load your photos immediately and they will not load when not Wi - Fi. When you try to import from your phone to the computer, it loads only 8 pictures when you have 900 +.

    It sounds like you could use iCloud photo library and this could explain the reason for your photos to act like they are.

    When you turn on iCloud photo library on your Mac or iOS device, your photos and videos will download once you connect to the Internet with a Wi - Fi connection and your battery is charged. You can see the status and pause the download for a day, when you do the following:

    • On your iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos.

    Depending on your Internet connection speed, the time it takes for your photos and videos to appear on the Photos app on iCloud and all your devices can vary. Make sure you put on iCloud photo library on each device.

    This information is in this article: iCloud Photo library FAQ - Apple Support

    Go ahead and check if you have this option and join iCloud.com on your computer and sign in. Here you can select photos and see if they show up there. If they do, you can go ahead and download pictures from there on your computer.

    See you soon

  • How can I find the imported bookmarks

    I imported my favorites of IE explore and google chrome. If I try to bookmark a new page, he will ask me which folder I want to put in. Some choices are files that have been imported. If I choose one of them that they do not appear in my firefox bookmarks. "For example I have bookmarked the weather channel, and I chose the file titled" weather "which was imported. When I go to bookmark to find the 'Weather' file does not exist. Firefox gives me the ability to put the page but then seem to hide the folder and I'll be darn if I can find it.

    OK, so I found them. I have to go to Favorites and then to the bookmarks toolbar. Google Chrome bookmarks are downstairs. You can move each folder to the regular bookmarks list by drag-and - drop of their.

  • How can I find my imported files?

    Import files are usually in the left menu under their readers.  They are sometimes not which means I can only access it from "Of smart Collections" that contains too many images to work with.

    How can I fix this. I just want to work with imports.  Any help appreciated cause this drives crazy me.

    If you can see the image, just right-click on it and choose "go to folder in the library" and who will reveal the folder in the folders tree. I find that this happens more often when I'm working with the last images that I've imported, then switch to another folder. I always go to the previous import option in the library to find these images. But sometimes the choice of "go to the folder in the library" is the simplest solution.
