User Account Photo Locations?

[Corley989]

I just bought my mac and I have been googling and thread searching my heart out as best I know how and I can't seem to find and answer to this anywhere.

When you boot your Mac for the first time, OS X gives you the option of taking a picture for your account photo with your webcam. I am looking for the location of that file. I want to make it my profile picture on Facebook.

I am running 10.6.4 on a 6,2 Macbook Pro.

If anyone know the answer to this: Many internets unto you.

Look in ~/Library/Images/iChat Recent Pictures, where ~ is your Home folder.

Very interesting. So there's actually a hex encoding of the image stored in the system, which can be converted into a actual jpeg binary file.

Thanks.
