Photos for MacPictures that have been imported into Photos reside inside the Photos library. You should not muck with them there. If you need a Finder-accessible copy of a picture, export it to a Finder folder.

Assuming you did, in fact, import the pictures into iPhoto, use "Export..." in the File menu of iPhoto. Pretty much the same answer as to the original question.
