Photo Booth Pictures File Location?

Upgraded to Mavericks and I can't find any of the picture files from Photo Booth. Previously they were in User/Pictures/PhotoBooth


But now that folder is empty.


User uploaded file


If I open up "Photo Booth Library" I can see the pictures within photobooth. But not the file location. Also, some of my photos

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Inside "Pictures" Right click on "Photo Booth Library" and select "Show Package Contents". From there you will fine all your photo's and video's inside another folder called "Pictures"...


It's kind of weird the way this was done. I think it was better the old way.

In Mavericks, it's changed around a bit.


(The solution from mdzura117 is correct, too)


An alternative is, when you are inside PhotoBooth, right-click the thumbail (image or video) and select "export".


Then, choose where to save/export the file to.


Hope this is helpful 🙂

If you'd like to be able to access the photos in any way other than just in FINDER, ie: to upload them on webforms, and other apps, then you can do this


open Terminal


type:

-------



cd Pictures


ln -s Photo\ Booth\ Library/Pictures/ PhotoBoothPics


----

this will create a folder called PhotoBoothPics that is a link to the photobooth library, and is accessible to attach to email, etc, and will always have all your pics

You want to go to the file 'Pictures' in Finder and right click 'Photo Booth Library'. There you'll find another file named 'Pictures'. If you go in there you'll get your pictures back!! I really liked the old way I don't know why it sent the old photos here!!!
