Photo libraries and pictures in the Pictures folder
I had 3 photo libraries (one i photos) on my mac, which I merged today using Power Photos software as I only have the free 5GB icloud storage. Now in my pictures folder I have one Photo library folder but still have numerous single pictures (jpg). I have imported all the single pictures to my Photo library folder - are all my pictures now stored in my photo library folder and am I safe to remove all the single pictures or is the photo library just a way of organizing your photos and the originals need to be in the pictures folder as well?
