[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1658264, member: 101749"] This is the beauty about OS X. It puts what it needs to where it should be. I see in your above comment, about "being like Picassa", I haven't used that, and most of my photos where in Aperture (now I'm looking for another DAM) but when you imported into iPhoto, OS X did all the sorting and filing for you, and all you had to worry about was using iPhoto. When you imported into this, it kept them in a Database, called iPhoto.iphotolibrary. Now you couldn't dig into that to get your images, you needed to open iPhoto up, and then export what you wanted. Photos is now the same. You need to work out of the App, not the Folder. OS X is great like this, because it takes the organising away from you and does it itself. Its a learning curve, but you do really need to get out of the Windows way of thinking. If you read books, the Missing Manuals, found cheaply on Amazon, are the best resource IMHO. They are written by the experts, but in layman's terms. David Pouge is the Author to look for in any of their OS X Missing Manuals. EDIT: here is a good article from iMore about everything Photos for OS X [URL="http://www.imore.com/photos-os-x-faq"]Photos for OS X faq ~ iMore by SERENITY CALDWELL[/URL] [/QUOTE]
