That will get you an alternate view into most of your Photos library. If you don’t see anything below that, move the cursor to its right and click the “Show” command that should appear. The next time you click a site’s upload-a-photo button and find yourself looking at the usual OS X frame listing your files, look in the lower-left corner for a “Media” heading. You can find yet another option in many file dialog boxes. I don’t know why Apple bothers - disk space is not exactly in short supply these days - but you can avoid this surreptitious squeeze by holding down the Option key when you drag an image to the desktop. I’m not a fan of that, because that command subjects you to clicking through two tedious dialogs.ĭragging and dropping the photo to the desktop seems like a simpler option, but it carries a limit undocumented by Apple: Photos compresses images dumped this way, squishing their size slightly while retaining their original resolution. Or you might want to upload it in a way that the Share menu doesn’t handle-for example, if you want to add a photo to a Facebook comment.įor those times, you need to get at the image file itself - and you’re going to miss the right-click “Show File” shortcut from older iPhoto releases or the “Reveal in Finder” command in later versions.Īpple’s advice is to use the Export command from Photos’ File menu.
One of those is the ability to get a picture file out of the program when you want to post it somewhere not supported by the app’s own sharing feature-Apple’s systemwide Share menu.įor example, you might want to post it to a photo-hosting site that you can’t add to that menu.
Apple pitches the Photos program it introduced this spring as a replacement for iPhoto, but in some ways Photos - even after gaining some new features in OS X El Capitan - still can’t match its predecessor’s capabilities.
Now that I’ve switched to Apple’s Photos, how do I do that?Ī. When I used iPhoto, I used to have a couple of shortcuts to show a picture’s location in the Finder.
