Q: How do I export photos from the new Photos app onto an external hard drive?
I just downloaded the new Photos app on my OS X Yosemite MacBook Pro, and I would now like to export all my albums and events onto an external hard drive to free up space. I have already backed up my computer onto another external hard drive through Time Machine, but now when I have looked around how to proceed further, I only find answers that relate back to exporting iPhoto libraries... How do I do this through Photos?

Select each album and copy the original files to a folder on the EHD in one of two ways:
1 - use the File ➙ Export Unmodified Original... menu option
2 - Option-drag the thumbnails to the designated folder on the EDH. Option-drag will give you the original file.
