Copy & Paste Contact pictures

Sure, that's right. Thanks. But I mean that before we could copy a logo/photo from another contact (within the Contacts app) and paste that logo/photo to a new contact. That's only necessary for contacts that work for the same business. For example, for employees of my clients I create new contacts for new people that I deal with within each company. Over the months and years employees change positions, they change work, etc. I use the companies logo's as those people profile pictures. But I have hundreds of clients. Before I used to create the new card and then search for the company name, then copy the logo from one employee and paste it on the new contact. Done. Now I have to start saving the logos in a folder for future use. It's doable, but it's one more thing to add to só many workflows. Meanwhile, I see that on iOS the copy/paste of contact's photos/logos from one card to another still works. I hope it continues to work with future iOS updates.

Hi

NOT solved as above. Seems to be forcing users to put pictures into Photos and them pick from there. I tried putting photo into both the ~Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Images and the ~Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources/random alphanumerics.../Images folders, couldn't find image in Defaults in Contacts, only other options beyond defaults are Camera and Photos. Note, each photo in the second folder I mentioned has a file w/ the same name but w/o the .jpeg, not sure purpose of this.

So seems only option is to put in Photos, which worked, although there is no access to the 'Last Import'. Deleted from Photos, picture is still in contact record in Contacts. So via Photos works, but really don't appreciate the removal of features I used before and 30 minutes of my life that's gone forever.

The image files for the contacts pictures are stored in the Images folder inside your Contacts account folder.

The storage location is in your user Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder. You can get there by pasting this path into Go To Folder in the Finder (Go menu).

~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook.

The Images folder you see there is for Contacts that are stored locally on your Mac (On My Mac account).

The online contacts (like iCloud) have a subfolder in Sources. You have to open each to figure out which account it belongs to (there will likely only be one for your iCloud contacts, but if you use another account like Google, there will be multiple folders). There will be an Images folder in each. Each of the images will be named with a unique ID, so you'll just have to look at the icon preview or quicklook it to find the one for each company.

I have been struggling with the exact same issue. Before it was só handy and useful to just copy and paste a contact's company logo/photo. Now we have to dig deep into System & Library subfolders and search visually through thousands of image files, most of which have blank thumbnails. What a nightmare. Why was this simple, but extremely useful functionality taken away from us? And then só many more small features have been taken away from other apps like Mail, Calendar, etc. What's going on with Apple? Steve Jobs, please, if you see us from above, try do reason your mates in some way. Thanks

No, you can just drag an image onto the contact image area. You don't have to click edit or any other machinations.

Unfortunately, you can't just drag from Photos.

Offhand, I can't see a way to do that.

I would suggest you now save the logos in a folder somewhere so you can add them to new contacts.

Somewhat silly, but you could store them in Photos as you have direct access to Photos Albums in the picture edit window. You can right-click on a photo in Photos and hide it so that it doesn't show up in Moments, Collections, Years, and Memories.

I'm not sure what you are doing, but I can drag and drop a picture on the picture well, or I can copy/paste after clicking on the + button which appears when you "edit" the contact picture.

Try dragging the image into the Contact window. Works for me.
