I downloaded some photographs from my camera (D300s) via the USB cable to my iMac, and then deleted them from the SD card once complete. I then found that they were nowhere to be found in iphoto album! However, when the screensaver comes on - with random photos - I see them passing by as if to taunt me!! Any ideas how to find them?
Make sure you have All My Files showing in the sidebar of the Finder. Select 'Show All' in Images and whizz through till you find them. Alternatively type .jpg in Spotlight and click Show All in Finder.
Are you sure you didn't download them in Image Capture?
