Sorry, I forgot to mention that I have tried the following paths.

/Users/%USERPROFILE%/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary
/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/%USERPROFILE%/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary

Am I looking in the wrong place? If not, what do I need to do to see my photos at these paths? I have thousands of photos in my Photo Library.

In macOS directly these paths opens the Photo Library app. However, in Xnview opening any of the following three Photos Library.photolibrary folders it show nothing. See attached
