Managing pictures in iPhoto?

I exported all my photos to iPhoto and seems like i have lost the folder structure and can only see them via iPhoto.

was wondering if there is a way to extract them out to a folder again?

also some of the photos are personal and dont want them to show up in iPhoto...how to hide them?

i find it little confusing to use so any help or links would greatly help.

thank you.

 

I'd like to help but first I want to clear something up;

Though iPhoto isn't an iOS app, I just want to make sure this isn't a thread made for the purpose of trolling and that you are genuinely seeking help.

 

i am just struggling with managing folder structures as i transferred all my windows files..so any help on managing pics via iPhoto would help.

few things i want to achieve:
- re-arrange photos if possible
- backup on external HDD
- Hide private photos
- recover original folder structure if possible or best way to manage photos i take on my phone and backup on OneDrive

u gotta change the lannister avi btw..it scares me

Re: about the avatar... it used to be in color.

 

if you want to do file management etc with folders like you are used to .... don't use iPhoto. it creates a container file and database in which it stores and maintains you photos similar to a floating .zip file. it is simpler for many users however for advanced file management and such is a royal nightmare.
