4 months ago I accidentally deleted the iphoto library and it's related files while casually deleting 'TODAY' from the image list instead of checking each desired deletion. (didn't know i coudl actually delete the control files).
I tried to drag them all back from the trash but got / get unrecognized file. A few days ago I had another go but made it worse by dragging what I thought was my library images (some were) from Photosmart Studio into iphoto - I think. Lost track. Now lost images which are all indicated by names or jpeg #s but black throughout. Also when I open the library all the files are there but nothing in them save a few thumbs. Library.iphoto shows 5.8mb which would be the missing pictures. This is what I dragged out of the trash but is refused when dragged into iphoto. Maybe there's a critical file missing.
iPhoto.db
vid03.wmv
Library.iPhoto
Dir.data
AlbumData.xml
Before it all went black but after I lost all the original images as described I unloaded my cameras onto iphoto successfully. These are in fact the one that have gone black but the previous original selection in the 5.8mb missing library.
All help much appreciated.
