Irreversible data loss is a sad story. John Marvin writes in with a question about restoring images that he exported:</p>

I exported a number of important photos to a back up hard drive and then removed them from Photos as they were not regularly needed. When I then opened up the photo from the HD it was substantially reduced in size. How do I restore the original size of these photos?</p>

If it’s been less than 30 days since you deleted the images from Photos, they may be in the Recently Deleted album in the sidebar. (Choose View &gt; Show Sidebar if you aren’t seeing a list of albums at left.)</p><p>
