Where are my photo albums stored? How to extract pictures from Album?

[tusnook8u]

HELP  PLEASE-  was looking thru photos and saw that I could save them in an Album. So I created a few.

I want to pull the Albums so I can upload pictures to Shutterfly and make a photo book but I cannot find the files anywhere on my computer. Anyone know where or how I can find? I have been working on this for hours now and I really have no clue where they could be.

Thanks in advance

If you are using Windows Photos App,

then a quick check here shows that "Albums" are stored as an SQLite database.

Access to the "album" structure (therefore) would be most easily accomplished using Windows Photos.

Opening a Photo Album in Windows Photos shows the Album title, the "created on" date,  and options, including "Share" (top ribbon).  Clicking on Share provides (for example) the ability to copy the album to OneDrive.

Not sure what Shuttle Fly would make of an SQLite database file.

You might end up having to copy / upload the photos individually either from the album or from Photos Collections.

One thing to try to see more information about the "where and what" > Open Photos app > click Settings

Particular "other" software, for example, Photoshop has its own rules, settings, and capabilities - these are best understood by accessing the software's own User Guide.
