However, this means that "Show referenced file" will not be available, because there is no "referenced" file, just the file that Photos is managing. This means that during an import, Photos copies all photos into it's own internal library bundle and manages where they are stored within that bundle. If it is: you have a regular (non-referenced) photo library. Each thumbnail is basically a pointer to the original file, wherever it was when you added it to Photos. Think of "reference" as a pointer in this context. Therefore, Show Referenced File in Finder is available. All that Photos does is make thumbnails and catalog the metadata so you can view your library. This means that all of your photos stay in their original locations when added to Photos. If it is not: you have a referenced photo library. Check Preferences > General > Importing and see if the "Copy files" checkbox is checked.
