Can't find new photos.

Hi,

When you import photos directly into iPhoto then they are within iPhoto's database.

If you wish to view the files within Finder then you must open that database first. To do so, navigate to where your iPhoto Library is (by default it is located in the Pictures folder), right click on it and select Show Package Contents. You'll then be able to search and view the actual files.

I would strongly advise that you do not add or remove photos from there though. If you wish to add/remove photos from iPhoto then only do so from within iPhoto itself.

That is NOT how you access photos when you use iPhoto - see this user tip for information on the supported (and safe) ways to access yor photos

And it is strongly recommended that you do not show package contents as that is dangerous and does not give the results you want

Agreed. Which is why, Larry, I actually stated "I would strongly advise that you do not add or remove photos from there though. If you wish to add/remove photos from iPhoto then only do so from within iPhoto itself."

Yes -

but you did not provide any help on the correct way to access the photo

IMHO after seing thousands of disasters from people who show package contents and make changes either accidentially or on purpose and knowing that when you show package contents you not only endanger the integitery of your iPhoto library but you have a high probablity of not finding the correct version of the photos you want (there are two or three versions of every photo in the iPhoto library) and since there is never a reason to dig around inside the iPhoto library contents and it is not a supported method of access the better advice is

1 - not suggest a dangerous course of action but suggest to stay out of the library and do not use show package contents

and

2- provide the correct access methods so the OP knows how to do it correctly

Cannot fault your logic there, Larry. Indeed, I agree with it.

And for using photos on the web sometimes you need to resize them - with iPhoto you resize photos by selecting them and exporting using the export options to change the size and other characteristics of the photo - see this user tip for more information on exporting
