Apple hides your originals (masters) in a packaged contents file. This ensures you can revert to “as shot” after editing in the Photos app, even after cropping.

Your best option is to export copies from Photos and add the duplicates to Organizer. This will ensure no corruption of the Photos library.

Alternatively you can edit externally in the Elements Editor, directly from Photos via extensions.

Photos on Mac OS now permits the use of Extensions. Go to this link for more information:
