[QUOTE="Beleg Cuthalion, post: 1843283, member: 125313"] Hi all, thank you very much for your replies. Jake, to answer your question, it was rather useful to locate original images in the iPhoto database. iPhoto seemed to have a hard time reading RAW files from some cameras, so I would edit photos in a separate application and import both the original and the edited version to iPhoto, and while the RAW version might not display in the application, it would still be in the database. And if I wanted to find the original, it was super easy the way the database was set up if I knew roughly when it was taken. Basically, the new format that appears randomized is so different and unintelligible to me that it was very disconcerting because I worried that if my computer crashed it might not be readable by Photos on another device. But you have answered my question as it sounds like that would not be an issue. So I guess there is nothing to worry about. Thanks again. And Rod, I only have one folder named "iPhoto.photoslibrary" which seems weird, but probably not an issue. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
