Thanks!

Which system is running on your Mac? There is no longer an iPhoto on macOS 10.15 Catalina or later.

if you are using the Photos.app , the photos are in the Photos Library, usually in the Pictures folder. To pass the photos to another application, use the command “File > export”. It is nearly impossible to find the original photos inside the photos library package inside the folder “originals”, because Photos is renaming the files. It is no longer possible to find the originals using the Finder. Only Photos can retrieve them from the library.
