[QUOTE="ncjones, post: 1289980, member: 213358"] I was stuck on this one for a while too but finally found the answer at this Superuser question: [url=http://superuser.com/questions/56413/where-does-the-mac-store-account-pictures]osx - Where does the Mac store account pictures? - Super User[/url] To summarise: in Mac OS 10.6 your user image is stored in a configuration database. You can extract it using this command: [CODE]dscl . -read /Users/username JPEGPhoto | tail -1 | xxd -r -p > ~/Desktop/accountImage.jpg[/CODE] where "username" is your user name and "~/Desktop/accountImage.jpg" is the path to the file to export to.
