How to export the contact photo in Mountain Lion? I want to use the photo of a contact in the Address Book/Contacts in another app. What is the easiest way to export the contact photo in Mountain Lion to an image file? Dragging it out to the desktop does not work for me: I always get the photo Resize window instead.
Trying on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1:

On OS X 10.8 it was possible to extract a photo from contacts on the Mac user interface.
That did not work for me on the current version.
Thus I went to look in the ~/Library.

I found the picture I had taken under


~/Library/Application\ Support/AddressBook/Sources/(some long hex string)/Images/


Thus on Finder click the "Go To" menu, holding the ⌥ ALT. Click on "Library", then navigate to the Images folder.

(On my iPhone, in Contacts, I had taken a photo of a friend yesterday.
Today I wanted to file the photo, found it as above on my Mac, though with a size of 87 KB only.)
