When you delete a photo it goes into the iPhoto Trash bin.

so look there first. If you've empties the iPhoto Trash bin the file is moved to the Trash bin in the Dock so look there next.


If you've emptied the Dock's trash bin you'll have to restore your library from the backup made just prior to the accidental deletion. You do have a backup of your hard drive, right?
