[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1866080, member: 396914"] Rens, part of the answer depends on HOW you imported these files into Photos. If your option (as set in Photos Preferences, General is to copy the files into Photos, the images are now in a database in Photos. Here is an image of the setting: [ATTACH type="full"]32706[/ATTACH] If that is NOT checked, then the Photos database just has a pointer to the file, wherever it was at the time of import. If you move or delete the file, Photos won't have the image at all. If the item IS checked, then when you imported the image it was stored in the database, as I said, with a unique long numeric name. I don't know how CMMX finds duplicates, but Gemini2 should not see those imported files as duplicates of the originals because of that internal renaming of the image files inside the Photos database. So, your question was The answer is, "it depends." In addition, clearly any image NOT imported to Photos at all is at risk of being lost with no other copy anywhere. [/QUOTE]
