Why Photos for macOS can’t find an imported image

<p>Doug Needham asks about images that Photos for macOS can’t find:</p>

<p>Occasionally when I receive a photo from someone via email and want to keep it, I have downloaded the image file to the desktop and then imported it into Photos. However, after I delete the photo from the desktop, Photos then reports that the original cannot be found. Why is Photos not importing the original into its database as it does photos from my iPhone?</p>
