Automator "Get Folder Content" in app package (photos app)

You can use find in an Automator Run Shell Script Action.

This will find files created in the last month(-newerct '1 month ago') and copy to the Desktop (-exec cp {} ~/Desktop \;)

find ~/Pictures/Photos\ Library.photoslibrary/Masters -type f -newerct '1 month ago' -exec cp {} ~/Desktop \;

Take a look at "man find" to see other options available.

I just edited my post to add copying to the Desktop the files found. You can change the destination to the temp folder you use.

You can save the Automator Workflow as a Folder Action (when you open Automator, select Folder Action)

There are many options with find's -newer (i.e. you can copy files newer than another file)

I don't use iCloud, but if you can access the files in iCloud from the Finder (see: http://www.macworld.com/article/2310807/how-to-access-icloud-files-from-your-mac .html), then this may be a way to copy only the files added to iPhoto that are newer than the file latest files in iCloud

There are other ways to trigger a script to be run.

You can use a launchd "watch path" to do this. When a file is added to the selected directory, a script will be triggered.

You can create the launchd .plist manually, but the easiest way is with the GUI interface Lingon ($10) https://www.peterborgapps.com/lingon/

(If you decide to use Lingon, buy Lingon X from the website, not from the App store (the website explains the differences)
