Hello,
I have El Capitan, where can I find my user account image?
I tried many old discussions but it seems Apple has changed this in their last OS X update.
Please advice,
Kind regards.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), MHD's iMac
I found my account images in this folder:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ImageKit.RecentPictureService/Data/Library/Images/Recent Pictures
Following the instructions from this video:

If you're talking about the default pictures that come with El Capitan, they can be found in /Library/User Pictures/.
Nope, it is not from the default picture. It is a picture that was taken using my iMac's FaceTime Camera when it was setting up for the first time.
That's why I want this picture actually, as it had a remarkable moment and I want to keep it 🙂
Any hint is very appreciated,
Regards.
The picture is embedded into the Directory Services database. It can be extracted, but it isn't going to be the full-size picture that it was.

View your hidden files by opening Terminal and entering: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
(You will need to relaunch Finder for this to take effect)
Your user picture is found in: Macintosh HD > Users > *your user folder* > Library > Application Support > Address Book > Images >>>
Hide your hidden files again by entering: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
