Where are the photos stored?

I find it bizarre that I can't just say to Photos II where my photos are stored. Now I need to import them again. So I'll end up having them twice. I am thinking wrong or? because I don't see anyone having this problem? You are right. It creates several different sized versions of the original, but it also copies the original too, sadly. Would have been nice if it could have just made a reference to the original and handle the case if the original was removed. Disk space is plentiful, but...

I'm organized the same way (all photos on a share) and I think the current photos II implementation, which not only duplicates originals but also copies them under different resolutions, is a major concern in terms of disk space usage. At the very least it should *never* duplicate originals already residing on the NAS. Would photos II authors consider doing that in the not so distant future? Cause that would definitely shift photos II from good to great album sharing facility. Thanks.
