Mac's Photos App is no longer on my hard drive. How can I download another copy?
I generally use Lightroom, but I want to use Photos for a calendar. The app is no longer on my hard drive, and I can't find a copy of the Photos app to download.

To reinstall Photos you simply have to reinstall the system. It cannot be downloaded separately. If you managed to uninstall Photos, you would have to have disabled the System Integrity Protection. Photos has a special protection as part of the system.
To reinstall the system restart your Mac from the Recovery partition. This is described here:

Photos has to be on your hard drive as it's now part of the system and can't be deleted. Do a search for "Photos.app" and see what you get.
