Irreversible data loss is a sad story. John Marvin writes in with a question about restoring images that he exported:
I exported a number of important photos to a back up hard drive and then removed them from Photos as they were not regularly needed. When I then opened up the photo from the HD it was substantially reduced in size. How do I restore the original size of these photos?
If it’s been less than 30 days since you deleted the images from Photos, they may be in the Recently Deleted album in the sidebar. (Choose View > Show Sidebar if you aren’t seeing a list of albums at left.)
However, unless you have other backups (like Time Machine or external drives or cloud-based copies), the full-resolution images are gone for good.
