So I ended up dragging all my photos from the Trash to my Photos icon on the Dock. ![]() I tried the "Put Back" option on a few photos, but these then went into some Shared Folder that I could never find (again, I'm not yet totally familiar with the iMac).

In my case, initially there was no "Recently Deleted" folder.all my photos were in the Mac Trash. the photo was there and it said that it would remain for 40 days.

But the pictures shouldn't be in the Mac's Trash, as I stated above. I'm trying to understand which "Trash" you are referring to because in Photos' Trash, it offers to "Recover" or "Delete" whereas in the Mac's Trash, you have to Right Click on the items and then it comes up with "Put Back" as one of the options. Thus, I am confused by your use of the word "Trash" - the confusion is mine, not your fault. (Maybe they did in El Capitan - can't recall, but certainly not in any recent Operating Systems) If you knew this and, in fact, consciously deleted them, then they are gone - they do not go into Mac's Trash.

For Lightroom, duplicates are placed in a special collection. What I like about PhotoSweeper is that it works with your photo management tools (or lack of them) on their own terms: If you are removing duplicates from iPhoto, they will go into iPhoto’s trash. Identifying duplicates from discrete photo libraries. A new filter panel lets you search by up to 30 criteria, including location, date, file type, rating, image characteristics, and camera details. Locked photos can be used for comparison, but can’t be marked for removal.

PhotoSweeper’s single window interface, combined with the media browser, lets you search various photo collections. Each choice offers slider controls and/or pulldown menus that help you refine the selection. The app gives you comparison methods like Bitmap (for better performance), Histogram (for accuracy), Time Interval, and even combinations of those search criteria.
