I resized a photo in Preview and I tried to export it to Photos. I located my Photos Library in the Pictures folder in Finder, but the file I want the exported photo to go to "2023" is not shown. I know I could use the "Photos Library" file but it is grayed out. Where do I go from here? Also, there are old folders I used to use in iphoto. Should I delete them?
iMac 24″, macOS 12.5
I think you are in Preview, you've chosen Export (or maybe Save), navigated to the Pictures folder, and want to choose an album in your Photos Library to receive your export-- is that right?
If so, it turns out that this isn't the way to get a picture into Photos. The thing is, Photos doesn't use folders in the same way that everything else on a Mac does. You can't access the albums and pictures with Finder.
One way to add a picture from Preview to Photos is to use "File>Share>Add to Photos." You can then open Photos, go to Recents, and drag your picture to the 2023 album.
By the way, you can crop a picture right in Photos. Just select the picture and choose Edit>Crop--it's pretty powerful. You can also reduce the number of pixels in a picture when you export it for other uses-- in File>Export>Export nn Photos, you chose size>custom.
Hope this helps...

What I am doing, when I want to save a photo I have edited in Preview to Photos is to export it from Preview to the Desktop, then I open the album where I want to add the photo to in Photos and drag it from the Desktop into the open Photos window, directly into the album.
Is the image in the Photos Library? Then find the image in the Photos Window and then use the File -> Export command
