Ha! I didn't know that. In earlier iPhoto
libraries you could simply open them like a
folder, but latterly, they have changed.
Ah -- now I have it. You simply right (control)
click them, then go to "Open Package Contents" --
IGNORE "Data.noindex", that's just the thumbnails
-- go to the folders labelled "Originals" --
which are your original pix -- and "Modified"
which are the pictures you have pictures you have
edited.
