when I share photo to Photos app it doesn't appear there

I am using Mac air photo booth to take the picture. Once the picture is taken I use the share icon to send it to Photos.

I see the Photos icon jump a few times like that's where it when. When I open photos I see I have the same number of pictures that I did before and the newest photo is from 4 months ago.

Thanks for any help.

I figured it out. I had selected a different folder under the picture folder. I changed it to use the photos.library folder and just like magic I found all my pictures that were in the cloud
