Q: Photos: can't "Show Referenced File in Finder"
When I select a photo and want to make a change to the original, there is an item in the "File" menu called "Show Referenced File in Finder". This menu item is always greyed out. What's it there for if it never works?

It will work, if you have selected a photo, where the original image file has not been imported into the Photos Library but is in the original location outside your Photos library. These reference original files can be revealed in the Finder, but not the original of photos, that are managed by Photos inside the Photos library.

Manual changes to the original image files are not supported in Photos. This can corrupt the Photos library.
Make all edits using Photos's Edit panel.
