To me, this is the biggest problem with iMac's Photos program. Apple's Photos is a database, not a file storage program. You can go in through Finder to Home to Photos. Then right hand click on Photos Library and click on "Show Package Content." All your jpegs are there.
Trouble is, because Photos is a database, it assigns it's own incomprehensible numbering/lettering system so you can't tell which jpeg is which. You can sort by date and that might help but it seems like Photos sets up it's own storage folders with random selections of jpegs in each. You'd have to open each folder.
If someone knows an easy way to find bulk, stored jpegs on an iMac (that were downloaded via Photos) and easily retrieve them, I'd love to know it.

This is why I import and store all my photos on my Mac outside of Photos in my own organized file system. Then only my best photos that I want to share get imported into Photos. I love Apple Photos for its sharing capabilities, and the editing is not bad. But not being able manipulate the files keeps it from being the primary filing system.
