I freely admit my knowledge here is sparse.
If I want to browse and open a photo on a Mac,
and Photos app is handling the images
then I have reports that selecting a picture in the file browser doesn’t actually get me a picture.
I have a nagging feeling that when Photos is involved, what I ‘get’ is a kind of promise, or some URL, rather than a binary file holding pixels.
Am I right, and if so, how do I get hold of the ‘thing’ that Photos wants to tell me about, other than making customers save the Photos image as a ‘real’ file to a ‘real’ location?
