I permanently deleted photos from Macbook Air, how to get back?
Hi, friends! I accidentally deleted some photos from Photos of my Mac (I even performed “Empty Trash” too) yesterday. Is it possible to restore only these deleted photos from a Time Machine backup or must I restore the entire iPhoto Library? The problem is that, after performing the backup, I added another picture to iPhoto (and I haven’t made a backup of them yet). If I have to restore the entire library, will this procedure replace my existing library and remove the recently added pictures?
