Get to your iPhoto images easily

If you're having trouble finding the actual original images stored in iPhoto, you're not alone. Just dropping into the iPhoto Library folder in your Pictures folder (in your Home folder) is NOT a pleasant experience. For some wacky reason (which I'm sure someone will explain later), iPhoto pretty much stores things however it sees fit. And for those of us who don't want to launch iPhoto just to drag the image onto the desktop, there's this handy workflow from OfflinePixel that'll allow you to easily browse your Library and save images (originals especially) onto your Desktop. It makes a copy of the images you want, keeping the original in your iPhoto Library, but this will let you put those images somewhere else— maybe somewhere more logical.
