Anne, A long time ago iPhoto would actually duplicate a photo when added to the library, & placed in different groups. There might be the photo in the main library, then you create a vacation set of photos & put all those in the main library that pertained to the trip, duplicates made. Another set might be created for Family, those put into this group from the main library would be copied to the family group. The same photo may have been duplicated 6 times.
This took up a bunch of disk space so now Photo creates an image of the master photo, I guess similar to an alias. The photo appears as a real image in each of your groups but its only an alias of the real image. The real photo may get moved, deleted & now you try to open the image & Photo says it can’t be found & ask you to find the original. I have this happen quite often & I don’t have a clue where the original is located. Normally I’m out of luck & stuck with the much smaller shadow of the original. I may as well delete the thing unless the duplicate is vitally important in its limited capacity. I hope this is what you were asking. John.
