They go to the Photos app. If your Library is set to sort by capture date, then they will be with other pictures taken about the same time. If you sort your Library by date added,

then they should be at the end with other recent pictures.


Probably the easiest place to look is in Utilities>Recently Saved. I have also used Modify in Pinned Collections to include Recently Saved in there, and I've used "Customize & Reorder" to put Pinned Collections right under Albums. That way I don't have to go all the way down to Utilities to finds stuff I use more often.


Let us know how this goes for you…
