I just downloaded Aperture. After electing to have files/folders viewed using Aperture, I played with it for awhile, and closed it. I then opened iPhoto. I find that 723 of my photos have been moved to Trash. How do I get them out of Trash? I did not want them in Trash!!!
iPhoto '11, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Oprn the iPhoto trash and select all - right click on one and return to library

After I've gone to Trash, and selected all 723 photos, when I attempt to "right click" nothing happens!! That doesn't surprise me. I have not had a successful "right click" on the track pad since I purchased this computer a bit over one month ago.
All of my Flagged photos (you know, the ones I really like!) have been moved to Trash! That accounts for about all of the 723 photos.
Hold down the command key and click - and you probably need to set the track pad preferences - on mine a two finger click is a right click - but that has to be set in the system preferences for it

After much fooling around, I finally selected all photos, two finger clicked on one of 'em, and a dialogue box opened saying "Put Back". I clicked on that, and everything seems to have gone back to where it came from.
I don't know what caused the move to happen, but I really do not want it to happen again. Most, but not all, of the photographs that were moved to Trash were "Flagged" photos.
I really want to spend my energy on improving my photo rendering, taking and editing photos.
Thank you for your help, but after several turorials at the Apple Roseville store, and your assistance...
Not happy with iPhoto; not happy at all...
Most likely you accidentially put your flagged photos in the trash - it sound like you may need to tweek yoru track pad settings - I sometimes do things I do not want to because of my trackpad (although in generaly like it)

I set the trackpad setting the way I thought I wanted them. The only thing I just changed in preferences was to add a check box for single finger clicks. Two finger click was already checked.
It is possible that I inadvertently deleted the flagged photos, but there were others, as well. Additionally, I've been seeing a number for total number of photos that has looked too small to me for about one week. It turns out that it was...by 723 photographs which now show up in the total photograph count again. So, I don't think I deleted those photos. But I'm old enough to know that sometimes I'm wrong, even if I don't like it.
