Access iTunes Backup on External Drive to Extract iPhone Photo

Now I want to retrieve an important photo from the backup but I can’t find and view the backup file. Is there any easy way to access iTunes backup on an external hard drive and recover my photo?

Please notice that, restore from backup will erase all the current data on your iPhone and replace your iPhone with the previous backup files, which means the files you add to your iPhone after sync or backup will be removed and lost.
