- First, carefully connect the external hard drive to your Mac with a USB cable and connector.
- Now, you need to open the Finder by clicking its icon from the Dock. You can also hold the Command + N to open it.
- Now, from the left panel of Finder, under the "Locations" tab, you can find your external hard drive. Click your hard drive and select it.
- Now, locate your target folder where your photos are saved on the external hard drive.
- If you have no idea which folder the photos are stored in, you can utilize the search feature in the Finder. You can search either file extension or file name.
