Deleting original pictures from finder - where are the pictures?
I copied a bunch of pictures from an old computer onto my new computer. I want all of my pictures to be in the same place. I imported them into iPhoto but had a bunch of thumbnails. So I deleted them from iPhoto and permanently deleted the trash in iPhoto and on my computer. The pictures are STILL in the original finder folder I created. Is that because iPhoto doesn't speak to that folder?
Can I permanently delete that folder?
If i do permanently delete the original finder folder with the original pictures, and all fo the pictures live in iPhoto, where are those pictures? My iPhoto library only allows me to double click and open the pictures in iPhoto. What if someday I want to open that picture in lightroom? How do i access the picture? Would I need to drag into my desktop and create a copy of it?
Thanks,
