I imported photos (JPEG) into iPhoto and deleted the original folder (backup is on an external drive).
Where is that 'folder' now, if iPhoto has control of it? Can I access that folder instead of going through iPhoto?
I have trouble, conceptually, of how to edit photos on Photoshop Elements 6 with the accompanying browser.

Go into "Mac HD" (or whatever yours is called) > Users > "your user" > Pictures
And you'll see the "iPhoto Library" file. Right click it and "Show Package Contents". You'll find all your imported photos there.
edit: inside the iPhoto Library you'll find different folders and such. There's an "Originals" folder. That's where your full-sized original photos went. The other folders are smaller files, thumbnails and stuff iPhoto works off of.
edit2: Don't you get this dialogue in your Photoshop??

I know there is a picture bridge. I am a newbie with the Mac OS. -

I have a question related to iPhoto, for some strange reason a number of my photos don't have thumbnails in iPhoto:
Is there some way to force iPhoto to generate thumbnails for photos that don't have them? -
iPhoto generates thumbnails only when you import photos (as far as I know). Try deleting the photos from your events or whatever and re-importing them.

iPhoto is a pretty nice organization system, if you need to take photos for work somewhere else, as mentioned you can usually open them right from iPhoto's library or you can always just export a copy to your desktop temporarily, so you aren't touching the originals.
Hurry up iPhoto 09, I promise I will re-install you when you are released
